"Trellis of My Mind" of 1998 is a narrow 20-m frieze made of 300 colour religious illustrations from Islamic, Christian and Jewish manuscripts. It is one of the most important museum works by the artist presented, among others, during Documenta in Kassel. The illustrations, copied on a transparent foil, overlap and interpenetrate, revealing the similarity of structures and motives that make up the iconography of the three great monotheistic religions. By blurring boundaries between the religions, the work constructs a virtual space of religious roots common to all people, thus creating the frame of collective cultural memory, which is usually inaccessible to us, people imprisoned behind the “bars of the mind”.
