TAKE, EAT, FOR THIS IS MY BODY
Part one of the tryptich ‘AGNUS DEI’
The title refers to the words of Jesus during the Last Supper, which He ate before He died.
The cans contain meat of the innocently slaughtered lamb as shown in my ‘Agnus Dei’ film.
They are wrapped in the image of a Medieval painting made by the Flemish Brothers Van Eyck, showing the Worship of the Lamb of God.
Are we brave enough to realize the shocking reality of the sacrifice of an innocent life?
Which part plays Jesus in the drama of human suffering?
