"To know what question we may reasonably propose is in itself a strong evidence of sagacity or intelligence. For if a question be in itself incongruous and begs for uncalled-for answers, it holds, sometimes, besides embarrassing the proposer, the disadvantage to seduce the unguarded listener into giving absurd answers, and we are presented with the ridiculous spectacle of one (as the ancients said) milking the he-goat, and the other holding a sieve beneath."

Honestly, it's primarily an experiment with abstract, contrast and NIN-esque forms.

I like ICT's interpretation.
Good piece.

It definitely looks experimental to me, but a few interesting edges appear if you look long enough
The top left enlightened part could have come from a piece of silk while it looks disturbing enough to extent the rest of the creepy atmosphere.
The composition looks a bit random to me, the foreground keeps us guessing about the distortion (technique-wise) also inherited by the hard light.
Well, you could probably interpret a bit more on this, but I favor the 'Mirror'
edit: Why 'Aktivist'?

Rather than going for something directly based on an interpretation, I wanted to make something open to discussion. I like the idea that people can take what they want from it. The title, Aktivist, was simply an intentionally misleading one. It has no reference to the piece.

Oh, look at that. That's certainly a something.

One could say.. anything just needs a frame to become 'art'. Here the frame is inside. What kind of something would that be?

I was framed for murder once. Does that make me art?

Haha. You are definitely trying

I think to an extent art needs a purpose. Pas, I'm not sure you're a work of art by that definition
