unicorn funeral home, from the serie of unicorn, digital photo, color, 2023
This photograph documents a symbolic intervention of a unicorn mask in an architectural space with industrial or functional characteristics, reminiscent of processing or storage structures. The presence of this playful and mythical element within such a severe and repetitive environment creates a powerful visual and conceptual contrast.
The piece explores art’s ability to subvert expectations and provoke new readings of spaces. The unicorn, traditionally associated with magic and the unattainable, here becomes a mute witness, or perhaps a catalyst, to the atmosphere of the place. The work raises questions about the memory of spaces, the resilience of creativity and the confrontation of innocence with the harshness of certain realities. It is a visual meditation on how the unusual can reveal uncomfortable truths or forgotten passages.
