I made the photography of thus skull and the bones in a cemetery of Slovene Istrian village Koštabona. It's actually from the wall of the village Church of St. Andrew, facing the cemetery. Then I added the enigmatic and meaningful black cross on the forehead. Laibach has this song in Franch from their album Kapital from 1992, called "Le privilége des morts", in which they're constantly asking what's The Privilege of The Dead. In some of their early sayings there's a quote "All the dead forever dream the truth." On the bottom here's a saying in Latin "Ama nesciri", Love to be unknown. Maybe that's the privilege of the dead - to be forever hidden in the secret of the truth.
