The ‘Hellscapes’ prove that artworks can have a sublime dimension that enables us to experience something beyond a binary judgment of good and evil. We are off course aware that the bloodshed in the work ‘Unhappy feet’ is fictional and that the actors are interchangeable but that doesn’t mean that the artists cease to put their finger on the sore spot of human history. In addition they demonstrate how images of violence are always carefully packaged to conceal something else.
