The article focuses on misread signals in art. Filmmaker Theo van Gogh was shot to death by Muslim immigrant Mohammed Bouyeri due to van Gogh's film "Submission: Part I" which featured verses from the Koran written on a naked woman. It has been criticized that the strategy used by van Gogh had been lifted from artist Shirin Neshat.
