This picture, being part of a series of six other pictures, emerged from the topic of the „5th Dimension" during the course of preparation for Documenta 7.
The evolution of our earth at a glance. From the primitive times with the dinosaur to the cave men, and from there to the construction of clay huts. The Egyptian culture, the Greek culture, wars, and the Roman culture with Christianity. In the center there is the symbol of justice bearing scales and a sword; angel of good and evil. The feudal system and the oppression of peasants, Columbus, who discovers the new world, and the modern times with multi-storey buildings, tanks, and missiles. Astronomy and an observatory. The exploration of planets up to a city on the moon. A fantastic work featuring many small details. The meaning, the importance, and the further progress of evolution are all shown on this picture. |
