About this artwork
The idea of the postal paradise describes a new paradise that not only eliminates the separation of good and evil, but also the valuation of it. It refers to the Christian understanding of good and evil as two powers that fight for each individual until he/she stands before God after his/her death. The Post-Paradise would like to overcome this Christian dualistic thinking, because it sees the definition of good and evil, which is based on it, which…
significantly shapes our current value system, as problematic. In the postal paradise there is no fall, no punishment, no god and no devil. All actions are based on the same human feelings as fear, love, joy and anger. They are not evaluated, neither the motivation nor their impact. Compared to the biblical paradise, life without death and love without pain is unthinkable in the post-paradise. In the postal paradise, man is not holy, but he is not defective either.
