Reverse creation process
“He who comes from above is above everything,” it is written in John 3:31-36. Each at its own pace, 172 balloons descend from a clouded sky. Dangling from each balloon is a part of the human skeleton, copies of mine, which seem to gather just at the viewer’s feet. As if with that, finally a burden from heaven has descended to earth.
Skeleton and heaven
The only skeleton ever recorded in heaven, it is claimed, is that of Jesus. When at the end of Attraction / Self-portrait 30 a bright sun appears behind the clouds, heaven and earth seem to merge.
