Schwarzer Peter

In a world where it is easier to seek and assign blame to others, the "Black Peter" stands for all those who are not supposed to belong—who are marked, labeled, excluded. But here he does not appear as a victim, but as someone who has long since seen through the game—and uses it to his advantage. The abstract, faceless figures around him embody a society that knows only one thing: shifting blame, avoiding responsibility, just not being the one to blame. But it is precisely in their arbitrariness, their interchangeability, that they lose their strength. They follow the rules – the "Black Peter" breaks them. He plays along, but on his own terms. What was intended as a stigma becomes a strategy. He transforms rejection into independence, attribution into self-assertion. Perhaps it is precisely this place on the sidelines that allows for the clearest view. And perhaps, in the end, it is "Black Peter" who plays the game best – because he understands it. And because he is already one step ahead of the others.
