Polyputrid
AVL in Aachen

The 'body' of AVL seems to fall into a process of decomposition, as is currently shown at the Ludwig Forum in Aachen.

The history of AVL is shown extensively in Aachen. First there were the minimal finger exercizes.

Then came the sex, we dare to say a lot of sex and a lot of booze as well.


AVL, Slaapkamer, 1999

After the sex came the sports. And after the sports came physical exploitation. At first on a small scale...

Later on a bigger scale.

In the meantime AVL designed a few brothels, in line with earlier interests (sex), combined with later ones (discipline and exploitation).

And now all of a sudden there is decay. Polyputrid of the worst kind.
These things happen when you turn humans into objects...


AVL, Familielamp, 2007

AVL, Muurdecoratie, 2008

...decay is close.

AVL, Maria, 2008

Being doomed it is time to turn to the Heighest Powers. And see, who is present in Aachen: Jezus Christ himself! And of course Mother Mary.
