[2009] Title: Stupid Human Beings / Size: 120 x 150 x 5 cm / Available for sale. Stupid Human Beings What became of all the unused potential? The strength, goodness and power man carries with him that each day slips through his fingers to be wasted. Suppressed by inner desires such as achievement of power and position, the potential has become a distant acquaintance of human beings. In stead rules the wish to see one’s own will on others’ agenda to the extent that nothing else seem important. Attitudes are directed to fit a norm, whatever the cost. The battle over power takes place in classrooms, conference-rooms and churches, with no intervention of all the good forces all human beings basically possess, but seem to have forgotten long ago. Stupid Human Beings is a call for man to look objectively upon his great positive potential and become attentive to what inner forces obstructs its unfolding. A messenger from another world displays his indignation at the human way of life and destructive behaviour. From his inhuman form, he is able to see what we cannot. And he calls out to the human race to prevent more waste. In one gesture he points at and reaches out to the viewer to encourage self-examination and action. Will we ever see what he sees? #rahbek #art #factory
