Gethsemane Moeity is a melancholic wink at consumerism and spirituality. A dialogue between a certain past and an uncertain future. Reclaimed engravings of Renaissance images are layered with discarded laptop motherboards, scanned at ultra-high resolution to reveal surprising new views and landscapes.

Technology is as omnipotent and omnipresent as religion once was, controlling what we see and feel, for better or worse. In the past, priests were the exclusive producers of cultural propaganda, but today this role is claimed by technology.

This work is a contemplation of this control of our hearts and minds; a moving patternation of the contemporary and the classical.
