„Children – lolitas – democrats,“ that’s how the world looks like for Jonathan Meese. Democrats are human machines, which want to suck us dry in reality. They lure with the most pornographic and disgusting ever: with culture and the journey into the ego. In pornshops on the other hand Meese cannot discover obscene things – only toys. In art the vampire is fantastic. Art just happens, like pissing or the “shark–like-mouth” of Scarlett Johansson: “Total metabolism, total fertility, total anti democracy , total neutrality, pure object, a bung for everyone and no one … to huge and to small for everybody”. Meese wants to be ruled by the aseptic and odorless, by the image of a thing, in the best case one of a lolita, because “lolitas are pure weapons”, no longer human beings, but states of thing, like Marquis de Sade, Oscar Wilde or Adolf Hitler. Lolitas are dolls and play with dolls and this exchange is totally hermetic. Here plays the dictatorship of art – and the pressure of this lawless space will become so strong, that it will replace the bad and meager reality. In this spirit “the arse chink of Claudia Schiffer is an obvious message to the world too. It’s not about democracy it’s about playing without rituals”.

In September 2009 Robert Eikmeyer and Thomas Knoefel met Jonathan Meese in the Mönchehaus Museum in Goslar. Meese at his best. From his continuous visits in pornshops, Adolf Hitler, the black death, his “Germania”, bloody tea, hands chopped off, Marquis de Sade, to lolitas and the arse chink of Claudia Schiffer, completed by a list of his favorite movies and a range of manifestos and songs. A must not only for Meese fans.
