PEGASUS SEMTEX

1997, 44x35x50cm, semtex, extension cable, outlet

Even though the pig is seen as an outsider, it longs to be refined and beautiful. It has decided to change its fate in order to become a proud Pegasus. It is therefore modeled not from clay, but from the plastic explosives Semtex. It runs heedlessly after unrealizable dreams, although its intrinsic handicap will never allow it a chance. Stubbornly it stands its ground, and consequently becomes a hybrid. At the moment the utopian dream becomes a reality, it explodes. It’s a Golem with an extension cord instead of a shrem, a perfect example one of my typically imperfect products.
