Reinterpretation - Venus and Mars

A reinterpretation of the Venus and Mars sculpture by Johan Tobias Sergel (1740 - 1814). Representing Love and War, the neoclassical sculpt becomes reinterpreted as a four dimensional form. The audience is presented with a shifting perspective of the sculpture, mirroring the conflicting perspectives of our own history and religions, both of which are become distorted through time. It draws a parallel between our history and current political landscapes, where it has become harder than ever to decipher truth from bias, with two realities presented at any given time. The division of segments reveals a smooth, flat surface, perhaps this simplicity is the the true nature of these beginnings.
