collage series with Vatican hierarchs
2020
A small post scriptum for the HOAX project. A series of collages with the Vatican hierarchs. Is the Vatican the seat of a spiritual institution or is it just the oldest corporation in the world? Sinecure, great clothes, spacious apartments. Gold. Authority. Lovers. For over two thousand years, the Church has been preaching a very beautiful teaching of love for one's neighbor, and at the same time hides criminals in its ranks. Rather, it is not about the good. Unless the priests' good. Covering up offenses by transferring from parish to parish, lies, hypocrisy, silence. People were killed in the name of faith. The church is a brake on social changes, including the equality of women, it is an opponent of contraception and marital equality. It aims to maintain a comfortable status quo. Under the Polish Pope, the church contributed to the spread of the AIDS epidemic in Africa. Can we still believe in the good intentions of this company?
