english version below – Der Portfolio Manager 2 (2019) ist ein Akteur aus dem Universum von Niko Abramidis &NE und verkörpert einen Fachmann für Anlageentscheidungen. Die comicartige Figur mit hochgestreckten Händen aus Aluminium gleicht einem Aufsteller aus Pappe, der in einem ziegelartigen Steinsockel steckt. Darauf liegen goldene Münzen, die wie Attribute auf die Profitorientiertheit des Managers verweisen. Gleichzeitig wird diese Eigenschaft humorvoll kommentiert, indem die Münzen wie Spielgeld wirken und ihnen somit jeglicher reale Wert abhandengekommen zu sein scheint. Ein wiederkehrendes Motiv in Niko Abramidis &NEs Werkkomplex ist der nach oben gerichtete Pfeil, der großflächig in die Mitte des Körpers gefräst ist und auf ansteigende Aktienkurse sowie die Optimierung des Menschen innerhalb der kapitalistischen Gesellschaft verweist. In dynamischer Pose spießt die linke Hand des Portfolio Managers einen Würfel auf, während er mit der rechten Hand einen Stapel Papiere durchbohrt, auf dessen Blätter mögliche Investitionsobjekte abgezeichnet sind, was als Referenz zu den gnadenlosen Strategien von Anlageberatern gelesen werden kann. Auf humorvolle Art präsentiert Niko Abramidis &NE den Investitionsmanager nahe einer Karikatur von sich selbst.


Portfolio Manager 2 (2019) is a character from the universe of Niko Abramidis &NE and embodies an investment decision specialist. The cartoonish aluminum figure, with upstretched hands, resembles a cardboard cut-out and is positioned on top a stone pedestal. A few golden coins lie, as attributes of the manager's profit-orientation, on the base of the stand. The coins, with their artificial appearance, playfully comment on the inherent irony of the entire work. A recurring motif in Niko Abramidis &NE's work complex is the upward pointing arrow, generously cut from the aluminum plate, referring to rising stock prices and the general optimization of people within the capitalist society. Dynamically poised, a small dice is impaled on the Portfolio Manager's spiked left hand, while his right hand pierces through a stack of print outs, showing potential investment objects. This can be read as a reference to the merciless strategies of investment advisors. In a humorous way, Niko Abramidis &NE presents the investment manager as a caricature of himself.
