Dissident Russian artist Andrei Molodkin has created a sculpture he plans to fill with blood donated by victims of abuse in the Catholic Church, which he says he will project on to the gates of the historic city - the home of the Pope.
Asked whether it will offend Catholics, he said:"It doesn't bother me but I believe it will offend because the power of the Catholic Church is still great now."I didn't destroy anything. I just give people a formal voice to speak about it."To coincide with the World Cup in Qatar last December, Andrei Molodkin unveiled a replica of the World Cup trophy that slowly filled with crude oil.
Back in 2013, Molodkin opened an exhibition called Catholic Blood that featured an installation where he pumped blood donated solely by Catholics around his replica of the Rose Window at Westminster Abbey, which he saw as a Protestant symbolMolodkin said he had chosen to protest against abuse in the Catholic Church because it was a"powerful organisation" with"many dark secrets".
The prince also admitted that he did not think of those he killed as"people", but instead as"chess pieces" that had been taken off the board.
