In my works I want to stress the fact that nowadays many species of animals are in danger of disappear… more ARTCO AachenDEARTCO Aachen +49 (0)241-40126750 berlin@artco-art.com Thu-Fri 13-18 .

Via Lviv we drove into the unknown, we didn‘t really know what the situation was like in Kyiv and were spontaneously allowed to accompany an escort with the famous waistcoats and helmets from Germany.

Roger BallenROGER THE RAT 28 Aug – 29 Sep 2021"I cannot remember when I put this rat mask on for the first time… I am unsure whether I am a rat or human.
