There is no such thing as a free lunch

Year

2025

An expansive spatial installation, consisting mainly of black-lacquered, two-dimensional figures and their shadows. Driven by selfishness, fear and hatred, the individual sculptures denounce, chase and flee from one another, becoming protagonists in a chaotic and brutal social situation. Drawing on the sociological theory of ‘neo-feudalism’, the work explores the interrelationships between authority, violence and their cultural embeddedness in Western societies.
