Monument of Solidarity

Author: David Kareyan

Place: ACCEA

Year: 2000

 

In his open letter, “Why a War” to Einstein, Freud insists on the fact that war is unavoidable, and the world without violence is a poetic desire for justice.

Is it possible to put up with the violence dominating the world?

The affirmation that it is possible to create a society where violence and power are not connected with erotica is still considered actual.

The liberation of sexual life starting from the 60s enabled many people to feel their power over their fate. It is possible to change the place of living, profession, sex, skin colour, etc. But is it possible to overcome neopatriarchalism, demonstrating power, exploitation, and senseless exhaustion? In the “Monument of Solidarity”, the man appears as the author of all the ideas and projects existing so far and is readier to ruin the world than yield.
