Relic I

A highlight of the ‘Temple Stadia’ series. The holy grail. The objectification of our true religion, of competition, the unreacable promise of completion and closure. The idol of sentimental aspiration. From 100 photographs of trophies. That something we yearn for, pursue at all cost, even though it is impossible to fin where it begins or where it ends or even if its ‘real’.

Cheribium

I sifted through literally hundreds of search engine results for photographs of team mascots.

While those cutsey babies with wings are popularly but ‘incorrectly’ called cherubs, the real things are strange allegedly rather fierce mythical beings that bridge the physical and meta-physical realms.  Perhaps a kind of antecedent for the holey ghost. Certainly heavily influenced by Egyptian mythology through Moses’ upbringing in the Egyptian court (Geers 2010), Judeo Christian scripture implies they are something of a vehicle for God’s presence. A merger perhaps of animism and antropomorphism.

Congregation

Again using search engines to source many photographs, in this case for the search term ‘fans’ and composing them into average image of the crowds occupying the stands. The third instalment in the ‘Testaments Stadia’ series.
