Sacrilege, 2022

Concrete and sand, 100x100 cm

 


Reflects on the control and exploitation of humans on non-human animals implemented through machines applied, among others, to intensive farming.

The piece uses the archetype of the mandala, the circle, a symbol of unity and harmony, which however in this work is transformed into a distorted and perverse symbol that annihilates the sacred element into an instrument of domination: the form of the panopticon applied to the surveillance and torture of animals raised as food for another species. The mandala is representedin a bas-relief, a technique historically used to illustrate the hunting topos, reinterpreted in this work in a visual pattern whose module is a cow.
