It is a very interesting take of these works of art to depict, expose acts of violence by at the same time abstracting from it by erasing bodies or not showing them in a concrete form. There is an ambivalence in this: on the one hand: by exposing violence it is always reproached. On the other hand: by abstractions and “erasing” the spectacle of violence is fought against. There is a provoking tension between these two sides.
