Gottfried Helnwein ist ein Künstler klarer Aussagen, ungezügelt und eigenwillig. Mit seinen hyperrealistischen Darstellungen gequälter Mädchen aus den 70er Jahren bis hin zu den Malereien und Fotografien von heute konfrontiert er uns mit den dunklen Seiten menschlicher Natur. Still aber schonungslos führt er die Leidensfähigkeit des Menschen am Schicksal des unschuldigen Kindes vor Augen und macht den Betrachter zum Mitwissenden und Mittäter bei Verletzung und Misshandlung. Nicht umsonst ist Helnwein einer der weltweit bekanntesten und zugleich umstrittensten deutschsprachigen Künstler der Nachkriegszeit. ...

In the second night after the opening, unknown people cut all the throats of the children on the pictures.
For the first time this memorial is now presented in Israel and for that occasion the artist included faces of children living in Israel in 2010. ...

"In a very poetic way [Hanoch Levin] describes the world we live in," says Helnwein, "with the child as metaphor for innocence, purity, confronted with the corrupt adult world. The adult characters, even the mother and father, are all archetypes; the child doesn't understand this world. With complete trust, he thinks that the bond between himself and his mother is unbreakable, but, of course, it's broken…
A huge picture-wall of a sleeping child, through which the soldiers break, is the first of four amazing sets, culminating in a "universe of dead children in an infinity of space." ...
