Pussy Punch – art illustration project by Johann Michael Schober

PUSSY PUNCH

Illustration, Exhibition, Amrum (DE), 2025

In 2024, Veronika Merklein was invited to contribute a feminist statement
to the public flag exhibition on Amrum.

The initial idea — an ovary with two clenched fists.

Support became collaboration.
Collaboration became shared authorship.

The process was light.
Direct.
Joyful.

Stickers followed.
Distributed in Paris. Quietly.
Walls. Signs. Surfaces.
No announcement.

The response was overwhelming.

It stopped being an image.
It became a signal.

Pussy Punch
by Veronika Merklein & Johann Michael Schober
for Women at Work, Amrum 2025.

A public flag.
Confrontational in form.
Unapologetic in presence.

Six artists.
Installed directly on the beach.
Exposed to weather and movement.

The flag exists as original and reproduction.
Not documentation.
Circulation.

Sound enters through Transmission 313.
Not illustration.
Atmospheric counterpoint.

Exposure and control.
Softness and force.
