Stop, border ahead!

in the center of the creation is a picture of a painting I have painted in the early 90’s. the picture was painted according to the most famous photograph of the singer Jim Morrison.
Jim died from alcohol and drugs in a bath in a Paris hotel.
My relations with death are convoluted and complex.
The picture of Jim was painted on a day in which I contemplated the question to be or not to be - but certainly not to go on along the road I have been taking. This is the message that I saw when I looked at the image in the original picture.

I painted him in yellow and red colors as are the colors of signs in Israel that warn that you approaching the boarder with an enemy nation, or a mine field.

In the computer-creationed final result I have laid the image of Jim on a page from a book I have wrote in which are described incestuous relations between a young brother and sister. The picture of the painting is driven by a continuous reading of the page, as if marking a territory that cannot be penetrated, yet allows a peek into an act that is considered a biological and a social perversion.

I think that the very fact that the writing is in the holy tongue of the bible, and the act described is one of wonton perversity creates an additional tension - after all, the bible itself contains unspeakable acts, yet it is the most holy book for many nations of this earth. I think that I managed to symbolically signal that we should leave our preoccupation with the holy writings and turn left or right to a new road.
