Cosima von Bonin — Bundschuh #4
Cosima von Bonin

Bundschuh #4

Cosima von Bonin's *Bundschuh #4* continues the German artist's signature blend of art historical references and pop cultural imagery, invoking the "Bundschuh" — a peasant boot that served as a symbol of revolt in late medieval Germany. The work reflects von Bonin's characteristically layered approach, weaving together political history, subcultural aesthetics, and a sardonic wit. Through her chosen imagery and materials, she interrogates themes of resistance, collective identity, and the cyclical nature of dissent.
