The painting stands for the upheaval in our time. On the surface, one might think it would only send a signal against racism, or be a criticism of the exploitation of the African continent, but that is too short a thought. In reality, Anton Hoeger has placed here a deep criticism of the Anthropocene. The caricatured demon in the background is in fact nothing more than a post-industrial scenario that could cost us our freedom. In this picture, Höger still limits himself in his explicit depiction to the threat to the freedom of thought and the press by putting alienated newspaper clippings into the picture. But Höger continues to think, as the black arrow pointing downwards indicates. Red Alert! The red shoes are no coincidence, they have symbolic character. We can be curious to see how Hoeger interprets the construction kit of the future in future works of this series!

"I am a realist through and through, apolitical and not moralizing. This realism, which tends less to represent reality than to establish a reality, rejects any emphasis and any dramatic sensation or satirical intention in a work of art. They are authentic creations, separated from the abstract and from what one could contemptuously call illustrative. I try to depict the found or invented motif in such a way that as an artist I give the viewer the feeling of encountering a new reality that has more weight than just an image." I show people in their time, their environment, their situation. Always questioning the “being”. I let the observer slip into the figure of the depicted and himself according to self-assessment, intellectual foreknowledge, and but above all his own being (in the sense of José Ortega y Gasset ) he will have to face his own nature. Interesting, of course, and that is in contrast to the conventional “figurative painting”, the multi-layered interpretation options.
