why this fucking cross on thumbnail ?

Why would you add a violence tag when there is no violence in your scene?I think you are just trying desperately to get attention, and the only way you can figure to accomplish it is to put a Swastica in your thumbnail, add a violence tag, then hit us with a stupid riddle.We're here to see art. This is not art....Take it to Oprah-

Alright. You got me. What the hell are you getting at? Is this a sequel to Golfing for Cats?

I don't get this either - that's a picture of Auschwitz or one of the other camps in the frame, and you have a Nazi flag on the thumbnail? - more of an explanation would help!

OK, Here's the story of this serie. Some days ago, randomly, I have seen on an IKEA catalog a photo of this sofa . 1) The fabric remembered me the awful concentration camp costume, and I thought it was a cryptic message of a neo-nazi designer, so I integrated the Auschwitz-Birkenau photo on a frame. 2)Doing this, I wanted to have a tribute to million of jewish or other people who have been killed and I have put a kind of ghosty injured man haunting the scene and the sofa. I dont wanted him to appear as a "real" character. 3) You can extract the name of IKEA from bIrKEnAu. (Birkenau= B.R..N.U+.I.KE.A.) Could It be just a coincidence? 4) I searched the Web for the official explanation of the name IKEA.The official explanation is given by the 2 first initial letters of the founder + the 2 initials of a town where he lived younger. hum. 5) !!!!!!!!!!! Searching this I discovered that it has been recently revealed that this founder (and actual owner of IKEA) was a Neo Nazi just after the end of the WWII . At this period everybody in the world KNEW the existence of the holocaust. Yes he became a neo-nazi despite the knowledge of Auschwitz b I r KE n A u atrocities. Could it be a coincidence? 6) I cant proof it anymore but I made this conceptual image and I have choosen to realize a serie of image illustrating in IKEA catalog pages the horror of nazism.

Thanks for the explanation... I have to admit that my first comment was a short-tempered reaction out of my epidermic anti-nazi opinions...

Very provocative image, I can see where the questions and controversy have come from. You put a lot of thought into this and perhaps were a little too subtle. Art is art, making statements that few will readily understand. Especially here, the land of wet dream fantasies and viewing without thinking, or bothering to comment. Great job, very impressive.

MAN! Thats a long explanation!:o0 but well worth it:O)...Its amazing how different people get a different meaning from a piece of art, your artwork is very original, keep up the good work.

IKEA is Swedish....and there were meny suckers in Sweden during the worldWarTwo 2!! ...Well Ingvar Kamprad did join in the Nazifriendly organization when he was 16 years old and FOOOOOLISH!!! But when he realized hes stupidity...he wrote meny letters apologizing for hes stupidity...well I don't think stupidity is an excuse..and letters can't make the history undone..but he showed that he regretted it.. Your "aphorism" is great though :)
