Artwork Description |Valentin Carron’s work They Iyou he we presents asad serpent, hanging from<br />
the metal beam in the hall, with the monstrous peculiarity of possessing two<br />
heads, one at each end of its body. The two heads are not in the same position:<br />
one appears lifeless, looking downwards, dangling just centimeters from the<br />
floor; the other has more ofadefensive and, thus, aggressive attitude and slowly<br />
‘flies’ at around 130-140 cm, level with the vital organs (heart, lungs, liver) of<br />
the viewer. This Siamese creature ispresented as asomber, drooping mobile –<br />
made of wrought iron, synthesized in the Art Nouveau style.<br />
