These have always bothered me, in some obvious ways and some not-so-obvious ways. I’ve been reluctant to post them until now. I’m not sure why. 

Berlinde de Bruyckere - We are All Flesh (2004-12)

“An unsettling, reconfigured concept of the body, helpless and contorted, takes center stage in Bruyckere’s faceless sculptures. Abject deformation is turned into beauty as if the artist were trying to wrest a shape from abstract form.”

really like this

not entirely sure why

Pericle Fazzini’s The Resurrection (1977, renovated 2011) at the Paul VI Audience Hall in the Vatican. The giant 66 ft sculpture depicts Christ’s resurrection from the crater of a nuclear bomb in Jerusalem.

Quote from the artist:

“Suddenly there came to me the idea of Christ preaching peace for 2,000 years, and the place where He prayed for the last time: the olive grove of Gethsemane,” said Mr. Fazzini in a book about the work. ”I had the idea of depicting Christ as if He were rising again from the explosion of this large olive grove, peaceful site of His last prayers. Christ rises from this crater torn open by a nuclear bomb; an atrocious explosion, a vortex of violence and energy.”

This nuclear bomb comes 2000 years after Jesus is supposed to have begun his ministry (when he was 30).

So most of those skulls in the sculpture would be those of people alive today in Israel Palestine.

And the pope gives speeches in front of that.

Like, are you trying to look evil.
