Lately, these pictures are sold off at flea markets and  on ebay. In 2007\/08, I ventured out to buy fifty such images, to install  them in my 20m\u00b2 apartment I had in Stuttgart at the time. I then lived  with the installation for fifty days. Just to see what it would do to an  agnostic like myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> The exhibition is revisiting the project from a new angle.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"470\" height=\"260\" src=\"http:\/\/tommibrem.de\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/lwj_01_01.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tommibrem.de\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/lwj_01_01.jpg 470w, https:\/\/tommibrem.de\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/lwj_01_01-300x166.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\" \/><figcaption>Photo of my small apartment in Stuttgart, left without Jesus, right after the hanging of Jesus.

I attempted to read the bible but gave up when it got illogical. Like, on page one. It totally scared the pizza delivery guy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"470\" height=\"725\" src=\"http:\/\/tommibrem.de\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/lwj_gb_02.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1419\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tommibrem.de\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/lwj_gb_02.jpg 470w, https:\/\/tommibrem.de\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/lwj_gb_02-194x300.jpg 194w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\" \/><figcaption>&#8222;The Power of Religion&#8220; uses a cassette tape set published by Jehova&#8217;s Witnesses, including an audio piece that plays all five tapes simultaneously, highlighting the mentioning of the name &#8222;Jesus&#8220;.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>My collection included paintings (acrylic, oil, guache), drawings, prints, objects, publications and media.
