Opferkunst

Venice, April 2024. International Art Biennale: The Irish performance artist Aaron Geldof goes up in flames on a cross - for the freedom of Palestine, a sacrificial death. Quickly, the media and politics in Germany recognized the true motive behind his martyrdom: hatred of Jews. For Geldof's closest confidant, cultural journalist Enzo Bamberger, the fiery death in Venice was nothing more than art. On behalf of his British newspaper, he embarks on a journey into the depths of the art world. In the thicket of sex, power, and manipulation, he uncovers the trail of shadowy figures with long fingernails who weave intrigues in the background. Do they have the answer to his question: Why did Aaron have to die?.
