“Does destruction of sacred images imply anything for the erosion of the role of the imperial icons?
Because divinity being destroyed is not a representation of a spiritual form disappearing, but a consequence of historian interpretation, scientists are doing exactly what everyone would do when tripping in ego-fixation, creating a transformation which is itself subversive and self-deconditioning. The church of the Virgin has been rebuilt and lavishly refurbished, due to major insights regarding the biblical-theological backdrop: ecstasy combined with erotic and sexually-charge images drives the entire practice, which could be described as a meticulous process of reconnection. Discussion about religious changes within the framework of monotheism opens an enclosure where it is fundamental to craft a discourse inside a radical environmental movement, aspiring to what can only be characterized as a move from nostalgia to wish-fulfillment.
The flux of the universe pertains to a higher epistemic realm, where a dark figure of iconoclastic power has acted against religious material cultures, that have subsequently left no trace. The return and interpretation of a spiritual and academic heritage is visualized as a series of animal figures, set up by the gods of fashion, modernism, renaissance and renewal… urban topography becomes conscious and imprisons mental coordinates behind a desk. Gestures direct viewers to names and key sentiments of the inscribed prayers, where they find a rich ethnographic dataset of embodied and multi-sensuous performances: they breathe to reshape light inside and outside, in a gravitational bending of electromagnetic waves by massive bodies, subject of contemporary and future disasters becoming super dense and acting as a lens.” - Paolo L.
