“Little Armored Ones” – Artwork description
An armadillo and an antelope are carrying on their backs a little boy and a little girl. The boy looks skeptical while the girl seems victorious. The animals are surprisingly tamed. Is this a victory over nature, or maybe a defense mechanism of humans to overcome their one handicap and arrogant nature? Armadillo is a Spanish word meaning “little armored one”. Who is actually the little armored one in this scene

The body as city
20/10-26/11/2011
Demi Kaia’s and Nana Sachini’s exhibition “The Body as City” deals with the notion of the body, both literally and metaphorically, as a political object and at the same time as an object of grief, as an object of pleasure and distortion.
