LOVE

Photogram

Adam Fuss

Two eviscerated rabbits placed on photographic paper and exposed to a flash of light in a dark room. The colours result from the chemical interactions between the rabbits' viscera and the photo-paper. 

"The symbol of opening ourselves up in love, of suffering and sacrifice, and being emptied out when you lose it."

Bloody Parsifal

"...oh, what unforgiven sin am I deemed guilty?"

In this bloody spiritual crisis powerful men full of blood fear they are losing touch with God, while blasphemous women are bloody sinners, seducers and sorcerers, excluded from the clan. 

Can renunciation and compassion save these people in this apocalyptic sea of blood ?
