At the core of Kendell Geers’ works is the political situation in his native South African Republic. In his works he tells us about the
ruling segregations in his homeland, the manias of social safety, the suppression of minorities, the exploitation of workers and the
general cruelty. Geers uses an emphatically minimalized collection of means. His works are constructed on the contrast between
eloquence of contents and laconicity of form.
