The sculpture, created by artist Noam Braslavsky, depicts the man propped up in bed with an IV drip attached to his arm, looking pale and sunken and wearing a blue hospital shirt. The figure's eyes are open and its chest rises and falls, as if he were breathing. Yoel Hasson, a member of the parliament, called the work "cheap" and said it amounted to "sickening voyeurism," CNN reported. Braslavsky admitted his work was a provocation, but "It's my right to come to this persona and to bring him back to the headlines," Braslavsky told AFP. Gallery visitors must obey strict, hospital-like rules.

The QWERTZ or QWERTZU keyboard is a widely used computer and typewriter keyboard layout that is mostly used in Central and Eastern Europe . The QWERTZ layout differs from the QWERTY layout in three major ways: The positions of the "Z" and "Y" keys are switched, this change being made for two major reasons: "Z" is a much more common letter than "Y" in German; the latter rarely appears outside words whose spellings reflect either their importation from a foreign language or the Hellenization of an older German form under the influence of Ludwig I of Bavaria. "T" and "Z" often appear next to each other in the German language, and placing the two keys next to each other minimizes the effort needed for typing the two characters in sequence Part of the keyboard is adapted to include umlauted vowels (ä, ö, ü). The placements of some special symbols and command keys are changed, and the English-language symbol "Ctrl" (for "control") is translated to its German equivalent "Strg”.
