The Children of Abraham

17 Jan - 19 Apr 2015

The dogmas of the three monotheistic religions, Christianity, Islam and Judaism are in focus in this debate-generating installation by Jens Galschiøt. The sculpture is 3.5 meters high and 9 meters in diameter. It consists of the characters ‘F.U.N.D.A.M.E.N.T.A.L.I.S.M’, constructed by 8000 copper books each symbolizing Korans, Bibles and Torahs. They are arranged in a circle on top of a foundation, in which 28 screens display changing quotes, bright quotes on the outside of the circle, dark quotes on the inside. <link file:1221 download file>About The Children of Abraham
