The series "13 Attempts to Become a Rooster" dates back to the years 1977/78.

The series may be considered a surreal Curriculum Vitae.

In Image Nine the rooster erupts from a mountain. The Great Dictator makes his appearance. He tries to carve his nationalist ideologies into everyone's brains. At the foot of the volcano people are wandering through the area. Clouds are darkening the sky, a strip of light appears on the horizon.

Is there a glimmer of hope or is the sky getting darker and darker?
