In Achot Achot’s spiritual binerf works photography is not only juxtaposed against and mixed with abstract painting: Achot Achot also reconciles two seemingly diverging views of life with each other and synthesises them. His photographs of young women with their palpable eroticism address as well as dissolve the separation of body and soul that is so inherent in Christian-Occidental history. The borderline between ‘The Self and the Known’ becomes irrelevant, the yearning for ‘The Infinite’ being the underlying goal. Merging abstraction and figuration, materiality and texture results in a different, spiritual and yet sensuous perception of the «self versus reality». Achot Achot relates in his work to Vedic knowledge: Disharmony of existence arises from ignorance: I do not understand, I am not understood. Mutual understanding between people at the highest level is impossible without knowledge which is transcendental in relation to human experience. Human experience is subject to error, because one’s senses and mind are imperfect and limited. For true perception of reality (without excluding subjective perception) the perfect spiritual knowledge is necessary. That is how Vedic knowledge is.
