Leitmotif
Leitmotif i.e. main theme of the congress was the unknown within the known,the strange within the familiar.
ASPERA AD ASTRA
(literally:"through the rough on to the stars",a Latin saying;it means:"through the night on to the stars"(poetical);through effort comes success)
This saying originates from Seneca´s tragedy "Hercules Furens"(Hercules (has) gone wild).
Alien i.e. supernatural beings
(God,Christ the son of God,Adam and Eve as God´s creation,genii) appear to us as familiar and admired icons in the history of Art.
On the right side of the picture,the male side of the picture,I have mirrored these well-known depictions of Gods and godlike figures within Christendom:thus mirror-inverted,they appear alienated.
On the left half of the picture,I have placed one mirror-inverted female counterpart for each male respectively (axially symmetrical).
The figures correspond to each another through their gestures and all of them are connected through a rolling band of cloth.
In the centre of the picture is the sun ((almost) all religions connect their higher beings with the sun) - the sun´s rays emanate as rolling bands of cloth.
All figures have extraterrestical roots:
1.
God (and Godness) in the middle of the picture:
Michelangelo´s "Creation of Adam" in the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican
2.
Adam (and,from him,Eve):
same picture
3.
Christ (and his female counterpart):
from the "Last Judgement",Sistine Chapel,Vatican
4.
Christ as a boy (as well as a girl):
Rubens.
All figures are accompanied and supported by genii.
The Kufological know the way.
