“The subversive motive choice of a double-headed Jesus,” describes the official exhibit statement, “established a sensible moment of uncertainty that leaves room for metaphysical and spiritual doubt… Through the use of staples carved in wood the suffering of Christ is almost physically tangible.”

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?
French artist Baptiste deBombourg (of stapler fame) has added some new pieces to his Aggravures series, even more intricate and intense than the 35,000 to 450,000 staples he used before. These were unveiled for his recently launched solo exhibit Agony in the Garden at Düsseldorf Cologne Open Galleries—from September 7 to October 27—and feature a slightly twisted scene of the crucifixion.

beautiful work! posters for posterity!2
I like it. And it grabbed your attention esp. if you posted a comment below. whether you love it or hate I don't see anything where it promotes violence or degrading women.. what i see is government taking away the rights of a citizen n the rights away from people. Failure to follow instructions will land us in prison like the model. Now if steven photographed the same concept with average shmucks would we pay much attention to it? i dont think so. it'd be just another political journalistic photograph.3
