A spoof on the ancient act of vandalism, by religious progressive, Martin Luther. According to Legend, Luther nailed a copy of his 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany, as a protest of the Roman Catholic Church’s “selling of indulgences”. In our version, Martin Luther tags “Die Shönheit ist der Prozess.” (The Beauty is the Process) with a marker, while wearing a construction vest. A CCTV camera catches him in the act, and god is asking politely for his autograph.
