Lama Sabachthani?

2019

Gallery Overground, in collaboration with Artarea TV 2.0, presents “Lama Sabachthani” by Rocko Iremashvili.

The words of the Savior uttered at the time of the crucifixion “Lama Sabachthani?” (Eng. Why Have You Forsaken Me?), are in-advance citations of current lives.

“Lama Sabachthani?” tells the story of the abandonment of the Son of God not by the Father, but by mankind… further reflecting the ignorance of common human and Christian values, leading to superficial approach to deep topics and the feeling of constant loneliness of contemporaries.
