Watch my back!

installation
motorcycle helmets, aluminum, steel chain, construction accessories, 2018

The work consists of two customized motorcycle helmets. One of them was found broken on the street, the other, visibly damaged, was obtained through the OLX website (e-bay like). Through the restoration process their possible meaning shifts and the inanimate matter again becomes an actor within a completely new network. The title refers to the cinematic motif, where two protagonists stand back to back to defend against the final attack of the enemies.
