Photography  > STEINPILZ (Beachbeuys)

..this mushroom island, which is a resting and nesting place for many sparrows, a few pigeons and a few seagulls, is in the middle of the bay of the beach that calls me again and again. i swam around it countless times, tried to climb it, and took pictures of it.

few years ago, i made a daily_jetzt of it (see left – 999+130 – 04/07/2021). BEACHBEUYS seemed to me a perfect title (it popped into my head as if my hat had a hole in the crown), because it has the arche-earthy, elemental quality of Beuys, but also the light, playful quality of the Boys. to an art lover who liked this picture game i gave a copy at the time.

now years later – by the famous coincidence – that i owe him money for a service, i suggest a counter-deal: the four-seasonal-mushroom for his service. he likes it and agrees.

then art market seems to me to be the best: when it exchanges itself as a true value directly. i often try to pay with it, more often than you probably suspect it also works. what pleases me as a very simple way to give Beuys’ dictum of “Art is Capital” a practical meaning.
