I know, modern isn’t modern anymore but being a martyr is about as modern as it gets these days.
At least that’s the case at “The Other Eye of The Tiger” art exhibition in Berlin Kreuzberg.
This “martyr museum” places one of the Islamist terrorists responsible for killing 89 innocent people at the Bataclan in Paris next to people like Martin Luther King. One of the artists explains it thus to us dumb folks: One has to differentiate when considering the term martyr, he says. And it always depends on the context. Indeed it does. Always. Even I knew that. How do people get this confused?
Don’t try to understand art, people. Just experience it. Then after you’ve vomited it all out move on to the next exhibition.
Am Ende der Reihe steht Ismaël Omar Mustafaï, einer der Islamisten von Paris, die am 13.?November 2015 im Konzertsaal Bataclan in Paris 89 Menschen ermordeten.
OK, someone has clearly never heard the terms “red line” and “do not cross”. The very act of placing this guy next to anyone who is not a bloody coward and a murderer (in this case in one) crosses my red line separating people from human scum. Don’t make it too easy for yourself just by slapping the label “Art” onto it. It ain´t.

I’d never heard of this. Any idea how the project was received?
