In the middle of the ocean on the "Fun Factory" - a mix of a Roman galley and the Medusa's raft - the illustrator sits over his work, questioning the purpose of what he does with a guilty conscience. Is he only delivering beautiful images for an ugly world? Revenge follows swiftly; on his way to the end of the workday, he is brutally kidnapped, plunging deeper into the ocean and into a dungeon that resembles both Dante's Inferno and a torture chamber. A mocking gang of villains, who seem darkly familiar to the artist, descends upon him; one mutilates his hand, while another gives him a task he does not understand. He is to paint a fresco. An initiation? Just get me out of here! With "Born of Evil," Hannes Binder has crafted the nightmare of an artist, where the black of his scratchboard brilliantly merges with the black abysses of a surveilled coast.
