Artwork description
Some perfect stranger
sneaks on tip-toes
steals my shadow
and goes where I go
My favorite stranger
stands in my mirror
puts words in my mouth
all broke and bitter
Some perfect stranger
My imitation
drops my name
in my conversations
Some perfect stranger
speaks when I speak
walks in my footsteps
and talks in my sleep
My favorite stranger
stands where I stand
leaves crime in my wake
and blood on my hands… ”
Depeche Mode – DM
…
“… .You wouldn’t exactly be considered pitiful but an excrement upon which they mate like loathsome flies, derision with indifference…”
…
“… Because your fellow citizens love the illusion of blood on the palate and much more than the pleasure of watching horror from a distance…”
The excerpts are from Victor Hugo’s novel “The Last Day of a Convict”, written in 1829, which is an indictment of the death penalty.
Source of inspiration : Joseph Goebbels
PS The dark alter ego that we must keep imprisoned within us if we want to be called Human. Unfortunately, in the times we live in, it has been left unbridled and free… and it is consuming us as its first victim…
