FranzRosa is the liberated human, the future human. A statue of liberty that says: ”It’s up to us!”
FranzRosa anticipates the future human. A human with advanced sensory
powers, who experiences more, differently and particularly new things.
He is the model of the change to a new human existence and the marker to
a positive zest for action. What can only be a vision creates artistic reality and encourages future existence. FranzRosa is the utopic symbol of a mature humanity, rooting in our present existence.
FranzRosa is the symbol for a sustainable interaction with the most valuable resources of humanity.
ABIOTIC MATERIALS, SCRAP METAL; OUR RESOURCES FOR A REFINED FUTURE. Our resources are getting scarce. Those metals and valuable resources, whose extraction is connected with great sacrifices for people and nature, are already incorporated in enormous amounts in our material flows (i.e. more than half of al copper deposits, coltan or tantalum, for which we have to pay a high blood price). Recycling (Urban Mining) ensures material flows as sensible way of preserving our resources for our constantly increasing needs, without further destruction of rainforests and other habitats deserving our protection and without pushing bloody processes of recovery.
FranzRosa is the symbol for a sustainable interaction with the most valuable resources of humanity.
