Regina G., 1984. (1-3/3)
Between the years 1983-1984 twentysomething Libera took care of his ill grandmother. The illness and slow agony of the old woman inspired the artist to create a series of works documenting human body dregradation. „Regina G.“ tells a stry about the inevitable decrepitude, incapacitation, necessity to depend on others' help, passivity against our environment, or even a specific lethargy preceeding death.
„Regina G“ is the most naturalistic and affecting work of the cycle. It depicts the moment of human body's decline, presses upon threads of vanitas, usually absent from Western culture, directed toward cult of youth. „Regina G.“ is a work where we can hear the calling of our future in the most acute way.
