The Seven Deadly Sins of Today
Art should not only exist for an aesthetic function, it must carry a deeper message and call for action. The presented images criticise some of the most serious problems – or sins – of the world in 2022. As a result, the photos try to be appealing in terms of visuality and though-provoking with regard to content in order to engage the viewers and thus encourage them to think about the given issues. The aim of this project is to reflect today’s society as a whole – that is why the models wear black scarf over their heads so their gender, race, age and facial features are not completely clear. Hieronymus Bosch’s “The Seven Deadly Sins and the Four Last Things” served as an inspiration for the project.
