Zwei gro\u00dfe Metallrahmen, in denen sich durchl\u00f6cherte schwarze Keramiktafeln aneinanderreihen. Hunderte Lichtpunkte strahlen durch die kleinen \u00d6ffnungen wie Sterne in der Nacht. Treten wir aber zur\u00fcck, entstehen aus der Illusion einer n\u00e4chtlichen Himmelsdarstellung die Worte von Gebeten. Die Texte des \u201eVater Unser\u201c und die arabischen Schriftgirlanden der \u201eErsten Sure des Koran\u201c werden pl\u00f6tzlich lesbar. Worte, die seit Jahrhunderten Kraft spenden, Trost schenken und die f\u00fcr Millionen von Menschen Ausdruck tiefen Glaubens sind.
Doch die schwarzen Worttafeln zeigen Spuren ihrer Entstehung: Ich habe die Buchstaben vor dem Brennen in die noch weichen Tonfliesen hineingeschossen, vor den Metallger\u00fcsten liegen Eisenwannen mit den verschossenen Bleiprojektilen.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dem Missbrauch von Religion, der inh\u00e4renten Gewaltlogik im Gewand des Sakralen, wird hier eine Arbeit entgegengesetzt, die das performative Reden in der Sprache des Gebetes mit einem Handeln verbindet, das jenem aufs Tiefste entgegensteht.
Der Sinn des \u201eVater Unser\u201c, wie auch der Wesensinhalt der \u201eErsten Sure des Koran\u201c, stehen beide in krassem Gegensatz zu dem gewaltt\u00e4tig vollzogenen \u201eSchreiben\u201c.
Die in der Geschichte immer wiederkehrenden Versuche, Religion und Glauben mit Waffengewalt durchzusetzen, werden in dieser Installation in ihrem fundamentalen Widersinn verst\u00f6rend entbl\u00f6\u00dft.
Die Installation wurde im Programm des steirischenherbst 2011 in der Ausstellung \u201eIRREALIGIOUS!\u201c im Kulturzentrum bei den Minoriten \/ Graz gezeigt und ist im Katalog \u201eGott hat kein Museum\u201c, 2015, Hrs: Johannes Rauchenberger, Verlag Ferdinand Sch\u00f6ningh, Paderborn, ISBN: 978-3-506-78241-0 abgebildet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
