Master Lucas

Master Lucas is projected onto a projection surface, consisting of treated lead plates. Similarly to Ancient Camera, this installation takes the confrontation with the gaze as a subject. It opposes/juxtaposes highly modernist and contemporary theories and approaches to the theory of evolution, metaphor, mimesis, structural linguistics, deconstruction and presumptions of the universal, self-evident legibility of human codes via the spokes person of the primeval pre-non human, a gorilla pondering and emitting statements about the human condition and its underlying epistemological presumptions in an eminently disconcerting manner
