Bruised Egos and Small Heads

The video shows two children playing with “small heads” cut out of paper on shashlik skewers. The heads are a random selection of the 100 most powerful people in the art world*. The idiosyncrasies and role relationships of the art world are revealed and reduced to absurdity by the children’s authentic play.

Joint work with Carmen Donet García

*according to the annual ranking of the Power100 Art-Review magazine.
