This is the work, which has so many complex, metaphorical and multilevel solutions. Frank, even aggressive eroticism of it is undoubted. Even the name speaks of something animal, sensuous in humans, as well as deification of sex itself, worshiping it. Then the chief idol is only sex, machine of infinite pleasure, truly insatiable desire. This rising phallus and another one, but together with the female torso (a hermaphrodite), bowing one another in reverence – this is vile idolatry. Anatomical closeness of display serves as an obscene hallucination of details, "close-up of cell structures, design of nudity" (Baudrillard). This is truly a triumph of the obscenity of body up to erasing the human personality; in the genre of porn faces and heads are often lacking. The impressive power of glittering or partially polished bronze is the orgasm of naturalistic details, this design of a phallus which is given a self-sufficient value of the object that is worshiped and revered, or at least intended to be so. Thus the sculpture “Adorations of the Idols” becomes a surreal embodiment of people’s extremely crazy illusions in every imaginable spectrum of pathologies.
