The image is: a man with a bird’s head, falling on his back, a bison wounded by an arrow. That turns his head back because he dies.
A bird and a rhino that shit indifferent to the scene. We don’t know what happened. G.Bataille
This work was the preamble to what would end up being our Last Kingdom work; the research started from the need to get into our predatory nature. Speaking about the origin of the times, when men gathered in caves around fire, when obsessions revolved around annihilating those great beings with whom they cohabited, where the only weapons were their body, their spears and their arrows. When men returned to their caverns and at night dreamed of these beings, and that same obsession and connection with the Universe, led them to capture the first form of art known in these imposing cave paintings.
The predatory instinct, linked to the creative instinct. We dare to insinuate that the same desire of annihilation, comes from the same source of pleasure to which we indulge in the act of love.
The mystery of death, origin and desire.
