”If Only I Could Grow Up To Be A Real Child Like Pinocchio”
Hudson D. Walker Gallery, MA, USA.
Opening Reception/ Friday 25 March 2011, 17:00PM-19PM
In the Hudson D. Walker Gallery I am showing two new works. The first, entitled “Secret”, is an animation with autobiographical elements, in which the desert and an atomic power plant appear as two great forces. In short, the script is: in a city in the desert lives a family of which the father works in the enclosure of the atomic power plant. The atomic power plant changes the father from a man into an automaton. This change spreads to the rest of the family, and affects them all. With the animation movie I am also showing the drawings that were made in the process of the making of the animation.
The second work,”If Only I Could Grow Up To Be A Real Child Like Pinocchio”, is an installation of two enlarged wind up mechanisms. I found inspiration in the sculptural language of little gears and mass produced springs found in toys.
