ALEXANDER AIZENSHTAT

Aizenshtat is mining in the history of Action T4 and
creating a new documentation of these events, in which
lies shock, pity and anger.
The work of King Gastro carries in a tough critique without
aiming to it. It unfolds the story of man’s birth, life and death,
and the painful meaning derived from it.

The theme of “The king castro” in my work is a subsantive
allegory. On the other hand, it is completely cold and
inanimate, one might even say dead.

The lifelessness of the doll on one hand and her
attractive appearance on the other hand generates a
painful mirage.This mirage is reflected through one’s life
course. Aizenshtats doll drawings illustrate this fragility.
In the Red Flag paintings , Aizenshtat asks the viewer to
look beyond any political and philosophical outlook and
discuss about the man itself and the obvious human
rebellion against the lack of justice and equality.
This work is an allegory describing the enhanced abilities
of one, derived just from his disability. This work is aiming
to refute a convention. The lack of strength is not
inevitably weakness.
The painting of the Red Man emphasises the distance
between the individual and the general, yet how the
individual is an integral part of the general.
