Pegasus Semtex, 1997, 44 x 45 x 50 cm, 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.
