Site-specific multimedia installation, edition 1/1, 3 holograms, matte and gloss plexiglass, audio.
This installation is part of the Kindergarten cycle that tackles the topic of the violation of children's rights and is dedicated to children used as instruments of death in pseudo-religious terrorism. Appearance and substance overlap and become confused, dragging us without warning into a twisted fairy-tale dimension: the play items are the physical embodiment of how logic has been turned on its head, with glacial holograms telling the stories of small victims induced into martyrdom, who, embedded in the items, become unwitting toys in the hands of adults.
