Beschreibungen/Notizen
The soul needs the body to invigorate, yet as the body decays, the soul resists putrefaction. [...]the soul faces its decaying double, an essential element in both real and fictional horror. Rafani's "Czech Forest" cutouts are historically and politically inspired by the Czechs' expulsion of the Germans at the end of World War II and are marked by the triumphant slogans taken from "Unofficial Decalogue of Czech Soldiers at the Borderland" (e.g., "The German remains our irreconcilable enemy"). Via the use of profanity with demonic and death-metal music allusions, it chronicles the reduction of faith into a pool of vomit and seeks to capture the essence of nihilism. ROGER C.
