FIRST STATION
JESUS IS CONDEMNED TO DEATH
A JURY BOX, IRON AND SCORCHED CORPORALS,
TELEVISION SETS, CD PLAYERS
The Rev. Thomas Faulkner, Artist

 

 

A colonial styled courtroom jury box enclosing a pedestal - supported scorched corporal and iron. At the base is a pile of similarly scorched corporals representing those prophets of Israel condemned to death in previous eras. Off to both sides are banks of television sets broadcasting only static. Set among them are speakers proclaiming in twenty different languages “Crucify Him!” as Jesus is condemned to death. The media circus is over. The act of those in power has been accomplished.
