This T-shirt was released on the occasion of the solo exhibition YOUR WORLD NOT MINE by Guy Yanai at KÖNIG GALERIE. In one text exchange with his wife, Yanai was complaining about all the forces that seemed to be against their marriage. Aurore, his French-born wife, replied, “Your world not mine.” The moment was close to an epiphany. Suddenly, the work that the artist was making became clear. All of these works are about longing, jealousy, wanting, and a distant and almost exotic fascination with the culture that produced the annals of Western art history. It instantly became clear to him that, yes, that is not really his world.
