Series of drawings and digital manipulations
Based on the 19th-century caricature character “Zé Povinho”, created by Portuguese artist Bordalo Pinheiro, Lumpensammler is a derivative project which will grow into a series of drawings.

The german word “lumpensammler” comes from the reading of Walter Benjamin's works’, the Arcades project, and on the notes of history.
