They may look like just elaborate models of Christian, Jewish and Islamic holy places, but Al Farrow’s artworks have a much deeper meaning.
Al Farrow’s Religious Trifecta: A Synagogue, a Cathedral and a Mosque tries to reinterpret three of the world’s major religions according to their political, military and cultural history. As you surely know, religion played a major role in some of the greatest conflicts in history and that’s what the artist is trying to emphasize through his models. Built with used gun components, bullets and steel shots, these unusual holy places reveal the violent side of religion.
Oddity Central (thanks, Eliza)
This can’t end well.
Not sure if I’m delighted with the artistry or disgusted with it……

Looks like a Habitat fireplace lol
Yeah, it’s going to be controversial…but I can’t help thinking that this is a real genius piece of art.
What next, creating a replica of the British Isles out of knives and guns collected from inner-city amnesties?
fucking brutal
wonder if he’ll tinker with the mosque a bit once Iran’s got the bomb too
