Eugene Soh's new photo exhibition, 'The Second Coming'

‘Like the last time he was here, he would probably have huge crowds following him, either on Twitter accounts or from people who physically follow him. Depending on what he might say, he may give rise to a new cult or denomination... just like the last time. 

Whatever he might say, whether it be a new set of commandments or the unchanged rules, it would go down in history as the New NEW Testament, or rather, New Testament 2.0. This new edition would be the best documented part of the Bible and would come with pictures!’

‘I've seen many depictions of Jesus praying. I didn't think much of them but now that I know what I know [from the Bible], it does seem like he is praying to himself... Or rather praying to his dad, God, who also is technically himself in supreme being form. I mean self love is a wonderful thing, but this would be pretty next level narcissism even by Kanye West standards.

This is something I am curious about, like how does his relationship with his father work? Are they part of the same entity with the Holy Spirit, or are they two individually thinking beings who can possess opposing views?’

‘Standard portrait of Jesus. I was going for something like the wood panel self-portrait by Albrecht Dürer. I used a photographic ring light for his halo [to depict] the orthodox Greek kind of halo where it’s a circle behind the head, instead of the modern day circle-floating-above-the-head halo.’

‘This photo depicts a possible moment when a supreme being (Jesus) returns to earth and confirms the destruction of the world at his birthday party. [To provide some context,] the Bible says that Jesus will return soon after his death, but we were told neither when, nor where.

His appearance would mean that his dad will be scorching the world shortly (when the Armageddon will take place). My photo depicts a solemn moment during his time on Earth, when he confirms that it is the last Christmas. How would people react to news of their impending doom?’

‘Jesus and his earthly mother. Western art history depicts Jesus and Mary as beautiful white people, though it is likely that Jesus was more central-Asian looking. But who knows for sure? My guess is that his image has been in the hands of artist impressions, so here is my take to be thrown in the mix – my fiercely intelligent nephew, Kieren, as baby Jesus and [local beauty blogger] Alene Breddemann as Mary! Multi-racial, yeah!’

‘Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday to Jesus! It is important and perhaps old news that no one really knows if he was born on Christmas day – his DOB is not mentioned and it would have been freezing to be born in an open barn at night in that part of the world. Maybe he had a holy fire somewhere; anything is possible for the supreme being.

Many Biblical scholars believe that it is probable that his alleged birthday "faked-it-till-it-made-it". God ain't the clarifying type either, much less for trivial details like this.’
