Wim Delvoye made an intriguing Via Crucis, using X-ray images of rats to depict the different Stations of the Cross. I used it together with the song Lazarus by the late David Bowie to make a meditation. Apart from some scenes of the graphic novel Maus by Art Spiegelman, other images included are:
- Ash Jesus (Zhang Huan, 2011)
- Still Life or Pieta (Sam Jinks, 2007)
- Black Christ (Vanessa Beecroft, 2006)
- Tote Blauracke – Dead Bluebird (Albrecht Dürer, 1512)

SCAPEGOAT SHADOWS 
Hi Erik, I’ve always wondered why it is so hard to imitate Jesus… Well, your meditation has just reminded me of my own identification with the aggressor/oppressor. Although it does not cure the pain, it allows to avoid it by transferring it to someone else. Being/acting/trying to behave like a Jesus follower/imitator is a long process that can be started by a new awareness of one’s own suffering… To be continued.
Thanks for your posts.

It is a process, indeed, and we all need forgiveness time and again.
You’re welcome, Laurent!
