More information
This large pedestal-mounted sculpture plays with the traditional function of monuments that have been erected to commemorate and transform certain historical figures into "exemplary characters." What we see here, instead, is an inverse monument; a monument to an anonymous suicide bomber wearing a bomb belt around their belly and holding a detonator in their hand. On one hand, the sculpture engages with the concept of memorials, questioning who deserves to be remembered and how assessments change over time. On the other hand, the inscription "All of you are guilty except me" also alludes to a society outraged and stuck in victimization, passing judgment on others.

Esta gran escultura sobre pedestal juega con la función tradicional de los monumentos que han sido erigidos para conmemorar y convertir en “personajes ejemplares” a ciertos personajes históricos. Lo que vemos aquí, en cambio, es un monumento inverso; el monumento a un terrorista suicida anónimo que lleva un cinturón de bombas en su vientre y un detonador en su mano. Por un lado, la escultura aborda el concepto de memoriales, cuestionando sobre quién merece ser recordado y cómo cambian las valoraciones con el tiempo. Por otro lado, la inscripción “Todos sois culpables salvo yo” también alude a una sociedad indignada y victimización estancada en el juicio a los demás.

Aquesta gran escultura sobre un pedestal juga amb la funció tradicional dels monuments que s'han erigit per commemorar i convertir en "personatges exemplars" a certs personatges històrics. El que veiem aquí, en canvi, és un monument invers; el monument a un terrorista suïcida anònim que porta una cintura de bombes al seu ventre i un detonador a la seva mà. D'una banda, l'escultura aborda el concepte de monuments commemoratius, qüestionant qui mereix ser recordat i com canvien les valoracions amb el temps. D'altra banda, la inscripció "Tots sou culpables excepte jo" també fa al·lusió a una societat indignada i estancada en la victimització, jutjant els altres.
