The Monument

2015

Bronze
220 x 208 x 431 cm

The Monument references classical rider monuments and the political, military, and representative function of such statues: celebrating heroes of the past and current forces of power. However, in this monument the standard allegorical nature is replaced by stylised forms and fragmented bodies. The figurative and visual language of this work should be read as a warning signal, directed towards the present and future.

The Monument (2015) was part of the following exhibition(s):
The Rebellion, Luxembourg Art Week, Luxembourg (Lux), 2023
