Toxische Pommes

At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, “Toxische Pommes” began licking the wounds of her recently ended toxic relationship on the Chinese social media app TikTok. She now regularly posts 15-second satirical videos there on various sociopolitical topics: Drawing on her personal experiences as the child of foreign parents who grew up in a dreary suburban idyll in Lower Austria’s industrial district and now works as a lawyer in Vienna, she exposes Austrian society wherever it incorporates racism, sexism, and classism into everyday life. She expresses her enthusiasm for the ugly sides of life through a series of recurring characters.
