Untitled for now by Rasmus Stride

Untitled for now (digitalt tableau) Digitalt print

Within the hyper-realistic 3D tableau we find mundane assets of a living room. A chair, couch and table is seemingly floating in a room, partly submerged in water. The gigantic head of Michelangelo’s masterpiece “David” is watching over the scene with his iconic stare.

The piece is a personal work based on thought of Covid19 and my associations with blockchain technology. The sculpture of David, originally a symbol of Florence's defiance of the Medici hegemony, represents my inner fight with fear and loss of control caused by Covid19. Like Michelangelo’s belief in Science, I to find myself looking towards bigger forces of medical innovation.

Finally the piece represents my positive belief in the power of decentralisation to disrupt established systems of greed and corruption.
