L'Inconnu. Subversif. Porcelaine.
Coming soonArchive note
Promotional poster for an unrealized avant-garde carnival float or performance art piece commissioned for the Carnaval de Barranquilla. The figure—a skeletal dancer rendered in glazed porcelain and rendered in translucent pastel—wielding a scythe suggests a collision between memento mori tradition and contemporary body-as-material practice. The text positions the work as a singular creation, implying rejection of mass production. This artifact speaks to collectors of European conceptual art history, Latin American carnival documentation, and the intersection of death imagery with luxury craft.
