Mondo 4 - The Power of Knowledge

Laocoön was a priest who was killed with both his sons after attempting to expose the ruse of the Trojan Horse by striking it with a spear.

The snakes were sent by a god and the deaths were interpreted by the Trojans as proof that the horse was a sacred object.

This story exposes 2 different morals: Laocoön was either punished for doing wrong, or for being right.

Laocoon And His Sons is considered to be one of the greatest works of Greek Sculpture and it had a big impact on the works of many artists.

By looking at it, the observer appreciates beauty in a scene of death

This work is part of a series called Metafisica. It describes the link between art and new technologies.
