"Ms. Pfeiffer de Bruin's bag", wax on paper, 64 x 90 cm, Helmut Bischof 2020 12 votes to the picture after the arrest of Ms. Pfeiffer de Bruin in Berlin, Alexanderplatz on October 25, 2020 by the police: Voice 1: that Toddler: there is a large gray area, then light brown dots on the bottom left and top right. A large, dark area in the middle fills more than half of the picture, it has a small green-turquoise stripe at the top and white spots underneath. Voice 2: the observer: I see a gray background, in front of it a figure from behind in black and gray outfit, with a helmet, a small turquoise stripe on the helmet, underneath the words "Polizei BE 31210" and two white dots. The figure is carrying a bag / backpack in her hand on the left and something light brown appears on the right in front of her. Voice 3: the reporter: At an event, a police officer, whose mission number can be seen on his back, carries the bag of a victim / participant during an operation and pushes someone on to the right in front of him. Voice 4: a “man”: it's nice that the policeman carries the bag behind the woman who is walking in front of him, he doesn't have to do that at all, very friendly and polite. An accident has probably happened and the policeman carries the person involved in the accident / accident victim with their bag, really very friendly. Voice 5: a connoisseur: No accident = unforeseen case happened here, but the police officer, or his colleagues, ambushed the woman, Ms. Pfeiffer de Bruin, when she wanted to leave a demonstration , and pushed her back against a pane. She came to the ground with the shock, wanted to get up and was taken away, captured. Her utensils, the bag, were carried after her. Voice 6: the bounty hunter: the trophy, bottom left, gold-colored, tells me: “Success proves me right.” Voice 7: a psychologist: a woman who embodies the female principle of sensitivity, mood, softness and wisdom, is from a policeman in uniform, male, hiding, wearing a helmet protecting and securing, brought to the ground and led away. Voice 8: a pupil of Fritz Perls: a dark figure, disguised with numbers on his back, not acting for himself, but looking through the mechanism of her crossed eyes, brings down and carries a woman who walks openly, upright and honestly you hypocritically after their objects. Hypocritical insofar as the figure of his actions does not take place against the background of health, safety or protection of the population, as specified, but has the topic: humiliation, restriction and bringing them to ground level. The consequences of this action for the agent are clear: alienation from oneself, guilt, living not in the here and now, but in illusions, dependencies, aggressions, projections, compulsions, fears and ultimately illnesses. A failed incarnation with all its consequences. Voice 9: Man: Ms. Pfeiffer de Bruin has learned in her life, her socialization and the acquisition of cultural techniques during her life to walk upright and honestly on earth, in an upright gait as a person. As a professional non-medical obstetrician, she supports people to come to earth. A policeman brought her down from an ambush. It is later announced that this was used to establish their personal details. He could have asked her what he wanted to know about her: who she is. He also knew it beforehand, because she is the companion of attorney at law Markus Haintz, that was known. She walked up to a line of policemen; then why jump from ambush if you could have asked her? The figure of the policeman's action is not the determination of personal details, that is hypocritical, a lie, but something completely different. Voice 10: As anthroposophists: We have been observing people for a long, very long time. What external science tells us about the descent of humans from apes, well ... When humans began to set foot on earth, apes, animals in general, were not yet relevant, but there were forces that accompanied them , good and not so good, from ages long before it came into being. The good forces from back then still accompany him today and they have meanwhile finally given him the full power of disposal that they themselves had as creative power, all power. Not all power for 7 billion people and everyone a little bit of it, no: everyone has all the power. Everyone can use it with the key freedom and love. Freedom and love: this includes walking uprightly, even in a wheelchair or lying down, impartially approaching another person, without a mask, disguise or protective gear, honest and authentic, almost naked. When the policeman in the picture with a number on his back, helmet as if he was being attacked, in projections - not possible. As Ms. Pfeiffer de Bruin (only as an example of a representative of humanity) walking upright, sincere, open, leaving a place of conflict, supporting her partner, caring - very possible. Voice 11: the unknown: Man is God's creation. Both sides, Mrs. Pfeiffer de Bruin and also the policeman, both are creatures of God, and we should look at them in their deeds. A dark figure, male, with a number on his ass, who jumps at a woman from an ambush with his colleagues (there are no women) and carries her clothes after her, feels right because a papa supervisor told her he was be really great and great, she handcuffs her, leads her away and possibly still believes this is all right. FUCK YOU! YOU'R OVER! Voice 12: as Helmut Bischof: in the city of Wesel on the Lower Rhine, where I spent the first decades of my life, there was once an artist, Otto Pankok. After his death in 1966, his wife, Hulda Pankok, ran a museum in Brünen near Wesel with her husband's works, including pictures of the destroyed Wesel. The British had destroyed Wesel to 97% in 1945. In the 1970s, when I was still in school, English tourists had also come to the museum; An elderly man paused for a long time in front of a picture of the consequences of the air attack, then burst into tears and answered the question of what was going on: "I was upstairs then."
