TOMAK is an anti, he’s the poster
boy of anti-art, who resists
political correctness,
uniformity, the “lacquered” things,
as he calls them.
Antonio Gramsci called this “cultural hegemony”
- a term for the universally applicable
values of the bourgeoisie. In his
opinion, power didn’t just originate
in repression but
also in “consensus, armoured with force”.
TOMAK stays true to his name, which is a
so-called nom de guerre. The categorical
imperative is his diction; his performances are
calculated provocations; his manifest is
against everyone and everything:
“one of you, above you, against you.”
