Installation inspired by Aldus Huxley’s Brave New World
Henry Ford the creator and messianic figure of Huxley's dystopian world, is on the top of this ‘’cosmos’’. The sculpted main head reflects characteristics of existing political leaders ( such as Trump, Josip Broz Tito etc). Two halfprints - copies apearing on Ford’s side, create a triptych of hierarchy, which without any idividual identity, rules an infinite world of reproduction ( fetuses ) and consumption ( ‘’Soma’’ pills). A rusty metal spine reveals the connection between two realities.
