installation, glass, neon, metal, 450 x 40 cm
Not only good come from above( is not just the property that comes from above"), is an installation in red neon hanging on the facade above the main entrance of the Article 100
As in each of the works of the exhibition, Hubert Czerepok tries to understand the complexity of certain historical events, through their representation. The neon sentence refers to the currency of VRIL, a secret pre-Nazi community that drew its foundation in a science fiction novel –The Coming race (subtitled the one that will exterminate us), d'Edward George Earle Bulwer Lytton appeared in 1871. Through this quote, Hubert Czerepok recalls the racial and occult myths at the foundation of the Nazism and confronts fiction with historical reality. The sentence in neon is written with the same typography as that of the at the entrance of the Auschwitz concentration camp, which indicated "work makes free". In this work, Hubert Czerepok begins his reflection on history, the mechanisms of power and The body grip.
