Description
This is a detailed slide of "White Fluorescent Pamphlets". It's an installation consisting of transparent religious texts including Hindu, Buddhist, Islamic, Judaic, and Christian ones. From the detailed slide, it can be seen clearly that the texts are overlapping on each other parallelly. According to the artist, by displacing texts in this way, he wants to show the reciprocal action between ambiguous language with inner mathematical structure and how strict religious credo to transcend vulnerable human being.
