A5

“A5” was a group show curated by Erik Swars in Leipzig, Germany.

The Berlin artist Moritz Lindur has extensively explored the issue of addiction pressure in his work. This topic holds personal significance for him as he grew up partially in a criminal environment where drug trafficking was a part of daily life. Through his powerful artworks, he subtly incorporates the experiences and emotions of individuals trapped in a whirlpool of dependency and self-destruction, driven by a constant search for euphoria or an escape from reality.

Having firsthand experience of the drug-infused environment, Lindur understands the despair and hopelessness associated with addiction pressure. He conveys these emotions through his artworks. His works invite viewers on a personal journey of interpretation, allowing them to explore the profound emotions connected to addiction pressure.

Additionally, Lindur addresses the issue of digital drug trade, which has gained prominence due to the anonymity of the internet and advancing technological developments. He highlights the dangerous connection between the digital realm and the illicit trade of substances. Lindur encourages recognition of the darker aspects of the digital world and critical examination of the influence of technology and online platforms on behavior and the development of addiction.

Lindur raises awareness and sensitivity to these pressing issues. His abstract works invite viewers to delve into the complex emotions and challenges faced by individuals in a world marked by addiction.
