Building on biblical form and structure, chapters dedicated to each Jesus include excerpts of their scriptural testaments, laying out their theology and demands on mankind in their own words. Jonas Bendiksen takes at face value that each one is the true Messiah returned to Earth, to forge an account that is a work of apocalyptic journalism and compelling artistic imagination.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBendiksen, Jonas:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eJonas Bendiksen\u003c\/b\u003e began his career at the age of nineteen as an intern at Magnum Photos' London office, before beginning his work as a photographer in Russia, resulting in his first book, \u003ci\u003eSatellites\u003c\/i\u003e (Aperture, 2006). \u003ci\u003eThe Places We Live\u003c\/i\u003e (Aperture, 2008) told the story of twenty families living in urban slums across the world, with exhibitions of the work combining still photography, projections, and voice recordings.
