Livin' With Jesus

GUESTS OF DAY 27 - June 10th


Tonight I was visited by Ali-Reza and his woman Judith. Naturally, their destroy-dog Indy was there as well. I may write about them like that because Ali is a colleague of mine. He is one of the three people who contributed to the exhibition by giving me a Jesus.

It's only the second person to take many many photos, one of which I have selected and displayed on the right. (Will add surveillance shots later.) So you can see me for once. Have a look at his flickr set for more real and unreal photos here.

Judith has an interesting religious past. Her parents were both Jehova's Witnesses. Then they dropped out at some point and have now rejoined one of the "established" christian churches and are very active in that respect. It seems like some people can't escape a very strong religious "setting". Judith asked to make clear that she is not a member of any religion and that she doesn't want anything to with any of the churches etc. Thus must be one of the strongest opinions in that direction from any of my visitors.

Ali-Reza on the other side is just a crazy dude. He was muslim once but is not anymore. Something that I alsways took for granted wouldn't exist. I always though: Once muslim, always mu
slim. Looks like I'm wrong. He is not really an "out-of-work-pornstar" though, he just claimed to be in the questionnaire.

Ali also made a soundcollage (listen to it here, it's called "Jesus Christ Warmachine"), using audiobites from the story behind Jesus #9 (here).

Ali's favourite Jesus is the Veil of Veronica (view), Judith's favourite Jesus is the "Einzug nach Jerusalem (view).
