Astonishment of Neptun

The end of old age carries internal traces of horror. The figure of Jesus, whose image comes from the Bible, is dominate. Several facts point to it (Hebrew texts and the whole concept of the image). Jesus, dressed in red robes, looks like he is coming from another world - he doesn’t have any body. The color of Jesus' robe is reflected in the sky and in the form of blood also flowing on the earth. It represents the blood of the people. It flows out from an object - from the people. The press - the instrument of judgment - is of course in Jesus' power (there is hope in it) and Jesus - the executor of the death sentence - tightens the screw.

Deafness is shown not only by the red sky, but also by the dry and rancid sea - there is no life any longer.

Not even on earth - death reigns there: mankind has finished playing and lost the game. Death now occupies the chessboard. The subliminal entertainment that is represented by the jester's head and the image of the clown no longer works - the fun has run out, the jester is dead, the clown is only an illusion. The only living creature, the only human being, the only one who still has the value of a man, is the Jew - because he worships the Lord. But the people condemned him to extermination by the Nuremberg Laws. He remains a human being and still endures his suffering - he is completely lonely and abandoned. Time ran out, only a dead clock face with empty numbers is left. Humans will eventually no longer be able to destroy either the earth or other people. And dark mirages can't do anything – they cannot scare anyone anymore - they're useless. Equally useless are the bubbles of the electronic world in which people hid, which are suddenly empty. The only things that are not dead and empty are two living beings: Jesus and the old Jew - the only entities that had value in the world and the only ones who are left. True hope lies in them.
