Jesus Clock

Created by artist Manfred Erjautz and installed in the Spitalskirche in downtown Innsbruck, with the permission of Bishop Hermann Glettler.

the upside-down wooden corpus projects from a mechanism on a shaft that is embedded in the torso. The severed arms of the sculpted icon of the Crucified mark the minutes and seconds on the timepiece.

That is definitely one of the weirdest things I have ever seen, in and of itself. What makes it even weirder is the fact that it is in a church with a bishop’s permission!

In the link, the bishop tells us that this thing "...confronts us with serious questions about the essence of life."

How does this thing ”confront us with serious questions about the essence of life” and WHAT serious questions does it confront us with?
