Passion For Freedom Festival: Freedom Ambassador Award 2015
Spin-Head pays homage to Italian futurist Renato Bertilli’s famous sculpture of Italian fascist dictator Benito Mussolini.
The work symbolises the precarious nature of free speech and expression, but also the first victims of fascist ideologies: women. The work questions if our fear of insulting others causes society to ‘zip up’ and shut down, thus distorting and restricting our ability to communicate.
