“It is evident that for the artists who take part in the Western project there is no such thing as a profane object. That is to say, all artworks on display in public spaces are always ritualistic and forever linked to a certain ‘sacred’ text.
At this point, it is also worth observing that each and every work of art on display in the public space presents a simultaneous presence of what is readable and what is veiled.”
