Unfathomable Humanity is comprised of collages of photographs from various sources. The images are a free mixture of iconic historical images and pictures from the mass media. Luis Delgado has collected them over the years, and under the pseudonym Lisdebertus composes a new, personal statement on religion, history and social systems from them. By making connections between ineffable acts of violence and those who commit them – the leaders, who go unpunished – he reminds us that all violence has a perpetrator.
