Installation work consisting of a representation of a full-scale carousel, built from an iron structure and finished with recycled cardboard. The piece recreates all the traditional elements of a carousel, using images and elements typical of a war conflict, which speak to us in the language of the “game” of war. The exhibition is completed with four photographs belonging to the artist's series “The delirium of the wise”, photographs of dioramas that represent the icons of the capitalist system and the powers that be.
