Description: Brent Wetters writes: "I like to think of Nomina Nuda as a religious work that recognizes its own impossibility of being a religious work. Adorno: 'The impossibility of the sacred work of art becomes increasingly evident the more the work insists on its claim to be one without invoking the support of any outside authority.' The title, Nomina Nuda refers to a taxonomical category which is 'bare name.' In paleontology the designation 'nomen nudum' is given to a species which is proposed without evidence or authority. Therefore the species exists in name alone, as does the god of any sacred work of art."
