(in collaboration with Tobias Rummel)
Capitalism is still feeding us
Oh humanity
Is this all you need?
A flat-screen TV, a shiny screen
and a cup of coffee?
A morning shag
casino luck
Bitcoin dirty deeds
Go-girl, gamble with atomic bombs
Your children’s lungs
And your soul to feed
To feed your empty, hollow heads
To mimic thought control
Whilst you hang from silver strings
Text summarising Tinder flings
Read your Facebook goal
I’m flicking through the pages
Of your Instagram
Show me your flesh
Show me what you’ve got
I love your plastic glamour
“I’ve got some boobs”
“I’ve got a hole”
“I’ve got a flat-screen TV”
Fancy popping round for a bit of Netflix and chill
and a cup of coffee?
Let’s fill my holes
Empty your souls
Come inside me
I’ll screw you and you’ll screw me
Just need one last fix
To get up in the morning, yo
Perform some magic tricks
To look the way Mummy wants me to
To blend in and fit in with the crew
A crew of robots
Get in the car
My own bell jar
Arrive at the factory
Spend my hours
Lose my powers
And end
on my
TV.

Lucia Jacobs
After completing her Bachelor’s degree in Art, Education and Therapy in the Media Studies programme at Alanus University of Applied Sciences in Bonn, the 25-year-old is currently studying film directing at the International Film School Cologne. As a finalist for the 2024 BFF Support Award, she produced the photo series ‘Nach uns die Sintflut 2.0’ and is currently working on the post-production of her debut short film, Kill a Darling.
Her aim is to create beauty amidst turbulent times – using a visual language that both questions and enchants. Guided by the motto ‘Who are you when nobody is watching?’, she turns her lens towards hidden realities beyond the staged world of social media. With a great passion for detail and symbolism, as well as a keen sense of light and colour, she succeeds in creating visual worlds that lie between reality and dreams. Alongside her artistic work, she is involved in organising and curating the NEXT Youth Photography Festival, writes poetry, and is delighted to meet people who share her passion for photography and wish to incorporate her works into their private or public spaces.
