Oracular Skullptures 2nd series

Poised between art and design, here is my second “Oracular Skullptures” series composed by seven animal skulls lacquered in glossy black paint and tied with “shibari” knots made in collaboration with the professional rigger @versusropes

Cattle, horse, babirusa, roe deer, ram, and two wild boars. Some skulls were found in open space, some others come from bone collectors and taxidermists (babirusa). Somehow my “skullptures” imply a reuse/recycle of skulls normally displayed as hunting trophy, hence holding different meanings.

The animal skull may recall the traumatic experience we inflict upon nature in order to dominate, survive, and prosper. In this sense, the “skullptures”can be interpreted as guardians of the terrestrial order, as warnings both for the individual and for humanity as a whole.

This series was firstly exhibited at @piano_zer0 in Rome, Italy.
