When the absurd returns\u2014spinning in perfect circles\u2014
it becomes hard to believe what we see.
The same lies, the same intentions
remain unscathed, untouchable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My work stems from an old poster,
an echo of Soviet propaganda:
the 1930s, which we believed to be far behind us,
but whose shadow still lingers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reinterpreting that distorted and deceitful image of the past
can help us confront the falsehoods of the present:
realities silenced
to avoid self-criticism of the human condition,
to repeat mantras with a double edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time, however, I sought to deform all those
originally portrayed in a pleasing way\u2014
and to give voice to the feeling carried by the victims.
Finding the lie in the original message
only became possible once I understood
the ongoing nature of similar falsehoods,
those that still govern our consciences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One sentence\u2014\u201cthis is not red\u201d\u2014denies what is plainly visible,
despite the underlying consensus
on the life that this color breathes into the countryside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
