Kort BeskrivningRemember Marylin Monroe?s sensual ?Lazy, I wanna be lazy»? Or the great Pablo Neruda, to whom ?laziness appeared naked, leading him off dazzled and sleepy?? Artists. Slackers all! Travel back to 590 AD and watch Pope Gregory judge them one siesta away from being thrown into the snake pits of Hell for advocating Sloth. Back then, anyone disinclined to work and therefore rejecting God?s Grace would likely be subject to the old ?Indiana Jones torture? forevermore in the afterlife. Sloth becomes a sin when it stalls the energy we must expend in using the means to our salvation.
Martin Vaissie, working on his own redemption as a ?lazy photographer?, places the Fourth Deadly Sin in the cultural setting of abandoned places of worship- Cultural Sloth made manifest in our neglect of holy places. Shall he be thrown into the snake pits? You be the judge.
