Domine Doctor

My name is Domine Doctor. I died on the 12th of October 1492, the same day that Christopher Columbus discovered America and the modern era began. Two years before I worked with the artists Johannes de Kastua and his helpers decorating the inside walls of the Holy Trinity church in Hrastovlje in Istria famous for its Dance of death frescos.
In the following years decadence increased so in the twentieth century I was no longer able to rest in peace.
Half way through the 90's I decided to ask my uncle the sculptor Joze Pohlen about this. In 1949 he discovered the frescos of Dance of death under seven coats of white painting in the church which had been forgotten for many centuries.

In the year 2000 I founded, with my friend David Perossa, alias The Engineer, The Academy of Macabre dance. I come back to life on 12th of March 2001, waken by the bombing of the two statues of Buddha of Bamiyan by the Mullah Omar's Taliban. Here the Modern era ends. When one world is coming to an end there is always the next one ready to take it's place. The Academy of Macabre dance is an invisible world, it is contemplation of the past, premonition of the future, the eternal present.

In 2001 the Slovenian artist Benjamin Kreze, alias The ALCHIMIST, joins us. At the begining of 2006, bored with the Metaplastic art that continues to invade Italy, once the home of the noble arts, now the ass of the world, I decided to depart to Patagonia to develop the pure art form, drawing. In San Carlos de Barilloche I was immediately fascinated by the Atomic Centre. After wandering in the province of Neuquen I arrived in the Valle Encantado where I sat next to a heap of fossilized dinosaur shit, covered by its shadow I discovered the nuclear drawing. In the company of the little princess of Gauchito Hill and Maruchito we arrive in Lequel where we find Ceferino wainting for us. We cross a small river and are immediately attacked and sent away by the Mapuchetton, large animals half men and half sheep. Ceferino explains that the group of north– corean scientists genetically modified a dozen Mapuche indios to guard the properties of Benetton in Patagonia. My friends escape towards the Andes, me and my Muse to towards the south. Once arrived in Rio Gallegos we enter a infamous tavern where we get to know Fernando an old dunker sailor who tells us incredible stories of the sea and hallucinating discoveries. After a couple of hours drinking we decide to go aboard the old ship La Conception after two hours navigation across a strait we get to the coast. We thank Magellan and go south till we get to Ushuaia, the end of the world. In Ushuaia’s prison, today a museum, there is an art exhibition by Dalì my colleague who asks me to do a nuclear drawing. I visit the prison cell of the first serial-killer of South America, Cayetano Santos Godino, known as “ El Petiso Orehudo ”, the little man with big ears. As I am an expert of human madness, I do this very easy. The next day I present for the first time to the public the nuclear drawing entitled La locura del Petiso Orehudo now property of the Ushuaia Maritime Museum. Extremely satisfied about the discovery of nuclear drawing I leave the southern hemisphere and return to Europe, the old continent where I’ll start to study deeper nuclear drawing and nanotechnology , to transfer it to my art.
