Ariel Sharon's Wax Body on Show by Lis Seddon 19 October 2010
From The TelegraphThe eerily realistic model of the former prime minister lies on a hospital bed in an empty room at Tel Aviv's Kishon art gallery, his eyes open, his sizeable stomach rising and falling as he breathes.Only small groups of two or three are allowed to enter the darkened room, where the lone figure in blue pyjamas lies connected to a drip, in a creation by Israeli artist Noam Braslavsky. "This man is not just a private person. He has huge influence over the lives of everyone that lives in this country," Mr Braslavsky said.As an artist, "it's my right to come to this persona and to bring him back to the headlines," he said.On January 4, 2006 the premier suffered a massive stroke and slipped into a coma from which he has never recovered, leaving behind him a political vacuum.Sharon's collapse came five months after he embarked on a radical new path which saw him pulling out all Jewish settlers and soldiers from the Gaza Strip after 38 years of occupation."In the middle of his political 'swerve' he spun off the road," said Mr Braslavsky, who lives in Berlin.The unilateral move created a wave of optimism that the former hardliner could effect further Israeli withdrawals from occupied Palestinian territory.Since his collapse, however, peace efforts have led nowhere. At the end of 2008, Israel launched a devastating 22-day offensive in Gaza, during which the Palestinians severed all contact.Fresh attempts to get the sides talking, which began six weeks ago, are now deadlocked by a dispute over Israeli settlements."Sharon's still breathing and beating body is an allegory for the Israeli political body -- a dependent and mediated existence, self-perpetuated artificially and out of inertia, with open eyes that cannot see," wrote Tel Aviv art curator Joshua Simon in an introduction to the exhibit."Through its insistence on convincing elements and details in the morbid spirit of a wax museum, the exhibit enables us to rethink the political," he wrote.Sharon was born 27.02.1928, Kafr Mamal, 34 E 54', 32 N 11' at 7.46 am EET. (from Astrodatabank). He has Aries 11-55' degrees rising. Jupiter at 7-12' degrees Aries is conjunct it and Uranus at 1-55' degrees Aries (from the 12th house) denoting the large size and the uniqeness of the man. Natal Mercury is on the Mars/Uranus midpoint, which would account for his mental agility and impatient verbal outbursts.Sharon has been in a vegetative state since the time of his stroke on 4 January 2006, when transiting Uranus was conjunct his natal Sun at 7 degrees Pisces and transiting Venus was on natal Mars on the Sun/Saturn midpoint (10th house). This combination is indicative of a sudden event that resulted in the break down of the health and vitality of this person who was a figure of authority.Today, 19th October 2010, as Sharon's wax model is being displayed in a Tel Aviv art gallery, transiting Jupiter is again conjunct Uranus, echoing his natal chart - this 'big' persona being put on display in this unusual way in order to evoke political thoughts. From January 2011 Jupiter and Uranus will once again be making a conjunction to his natal Jupiter and Uranus, while at the same time transiting Neptune opposes natal Neptune and Pluto will be transiting his Mid-heaven. Could that be the time when Sharon is finally released from his unusual, artificial state of being?
