The Origin of the World

Patriarchy destroys itself through its own absurdity.

Taking the female body as his starting point, Strömquist traces the history of humanity and exposes the excesses of binary thinking. Simon Dietersdorfer and Martin Hemmer follow the comic’s mandate, dismantling both themselves and the double-edged stereotypes. In the process, debris from the gender order rains down. From the chaos of destruction, they create new possibilities with drums, electronics, and wordplay. As it turns out, this affects us all. The new lies in the dissolution – it is eagerly awaited.
