No respect for beauty—that was characteristic of today’s society. The work of the great masters were at most employed as ironic references, or in advertising. Michelangelo’s “the Creation of Adam,” where you see a pair of jeans in place of the spark.
The whole point of the picture, at least as [Hakan] saw it, was that these two monumental bodies each came to an end in two index fingers that almost, but not quite touched. There was a space between them a millimeter or so wide. And in this space: life. The sculptural enormity and richness of detail of this picture was simply a frame, a backdrop, to emphasize the crucial void in its center. The point of emptiness that contained everything.
And in its place someone had superimposed a pair of jeans.
