USING PHOTOGRAPHY AND MUSIC I MAKE WORK THAT INVESTIGATES THE CONTRADICTIONS OF CONSUMERISM AND THE AESTHETICIZATION OF FORMERLY POLITICALLY RADICAL SIGNIFIERS.
WITH"PETRUSKA" INSPIRED ON IGOR STRAVINSKIJ MUSIC AND BALLET IS THE STORY OF A RUSSIAN TRADITIONAL PUPPET, PETRUSHKA, WHO IS MADE OF STRAW AND WITH A BAG OF SAWDUST AS HIS BODY, BUT WHO COMES TO LIFE AND DEVELOPS EMOTIONS. THE STORY SUPERFICIALLY RESEMBLES THAT OF PINOCCHIO, BUT PERHAPS HAS MORE IN COMMON WITH MARY SHELLEY'S FRANKENSTEIN. MY PETROUSKA DO NOT WANT TO BE AN INERT, LIFELESS PUPPET FIGURES DOES HE BECOME FROM A MACHINE OR VICE VERSA? ANYWAY HE WANTS TO BE CONSIDERED A REAL MAN FROM HIS SOCIETY.
I INVESTIGATE, IN "PETRUSKA" AND "LONDON LOVERS", THE THEME OF DIVERSITY IN RELATION WITH OUR SOCIETY ANALYSED WITH A BIT OF SARCASM AND SATIRE.
IN PANIS ET CIRCENSES - I LOVE NY I INVESTIGATE THE SAME CONCEPT OF PETRUSKA BUT UNDER ANOTHER ANGLE: WHAT S HAPPEN IF THE ICON OF PSEUDO-FREEDOM AND WESTERN POWER BECOME LIKE PETRUSKA? JUST A STRANGE AND UNRECOGNIZABLE REFLEX OF ITSELF? WHAT S HAPPEN IF THE ICON OF FREEDON, ONE DAY WILL BECOME FOR ORDINARY PEOPLE SOMETHING STRANGE AND MAYBE DANGEROUS LIKE PETRUSKA?
