Divine Comedy

‘All hope abandon, ye who enter here …’

 

This is the entry to Alfredo Jaar's The Divine Comedy looking at Dante's great work. It is described as, "Mona’s answer to the afterlife: a journey through hell, purgatory and paradise (via Dante, of course)."

 

Given the constraints of time on this short visit, I was not able to experience what was behind that door at the top of the stairs. So I am unable to verify whether or not people ever return from visiting here. But the entrance does look suspiciously like a Mark Rothko painting.
