WHORE FINDS JESUS IN ABSINTHE

Guanajuato, Mexico
October 5, 2005

"Jesus (hey-zeus) es la luz," explains Gabriela Maria del Carazon. Loosely translated it means: Jesus is the luz.

Carazon, long-time Methamphetamine user and local prostitute, discovered as she embarked on a long night of drinking Absinthe, that the murky green liqueur had a distinct image floating in its hallucinatory yummy goodness. It was the image of Christ.

Absinthe is green liqueur having a bitter anise or licorice flavor and a high alcohol content, prepared from absinthe and other herbs, and now prohibited in many countries because of its toxicity; it tastes like mint mouthwash and gets you fucked up, trust me!

When asked how she thinks it got there she responded, "Yo no say." Loosely translated, "Yo don't know," or "I'm not telling you, gringo."

The "Jesus in the Prostitute's Absinthe" Exhibit can be seen October 1-15 at the Guanajuato Art Fair.
