SILVER COLORED COW

Year: 2020
Size: 81 x 98 x 5 cm / 31.9 x 38.6 x 2 in
Materials: Acrylic, marker, crayon, spray paint on re-used wood

In SILVER COLORED COW and ARGUS IN THE CINEMA, the eye becomes an instrument of power. Argus, the hundred-eyed giant of Greek mythology, tirelessly watches over Io, the silver cow, reminding us of the fine line between seeing and controlling. From myth to Bentham’s Panopticon and Foucault’s concept of constant observation, these works explore how visibility shapes behavior and how control subtly infiltrates daily life. The series invites reflection on the tension between watching and being watched, freedom and discipline, creating a visual dialogue on power, presence, and the eye that never closes.

In SILVER COLORED COW und ARGUS IN THE CINEMA wird das Auge zum Instrument der Macht. Argus, der hundertäugige Riese der griechischen Mythologie, überwacht unermüdlich Io, die silberne Kuh, und erinnert uns an die feine Grenze zwischen Sehen und Kontrollieren. Von der Mythologie über Benthams Panoptikum bis hin zu Foucaults Konzept der ständigen Beobachtung untersuchen diese Werke, wie Sichtbarkeit Verhalten prägt und wie Kontrolle subtil in den Alltag eindringt. Die Serie lädt zur Reflexion über die Spannung zwischen Beobachten und Beobachtetwerden, Freiheit und Disziplin ein und schafft einen visuellen Dialog über Macht, Präsenz und das Auge, das niemals schließt.

In SILVER COLORED COW en ARGUS IN THE CINEMA wordt het oog een instrument van macht. Argus, de honderdogige reus uit de Griekse mythologie, waakt onvermoeibaar over Io, de zilveren koe, en herinnert ons aan de dunne lijn tussen zien en beheersen. Van mythologie tot Benthams Panopticon en Foucaults concept van constante observatie, verkennen deze werken hoe zichtbaarheid gedrag vormt en hoe controle subtiel het dagelijks leven binnendringt. De serie nodigt uit tot reflectie over de spanning tussen kijken en bekeken worden, vrijheid en discipline, en creëert een visuele dialoog over macht, aanwezigheid en het oog dat nooit sluit.

Dans SILVER COLORED COW et ARGUS IN THE CINEMA, l’œil devient un instrument de pouvoir. Argus, le géant aux cent yeux de la mythologie grecque, veille inlassablement sur Io, la vache argentée, nous rappelant la fine ligne entre voir et contrôler. De la mythologie au Panoptique de Bentham et au concept d’observation constante de Foucault, ces œuvres explorent comment la visibilité façonne le comportement et comment le contrôle s’infiltre subtilement dans la vie quotidienne. La série invite à réfléchir sur la tension entre regarder et être regardé, liberté et discipline, créant un dialogue visuel sur le pouvoir, la présence et l’œil qui ne se ferme jamais.

En SILVER COLORED COW y ARGUS IN THE CINEMA, el ojo se convierte en un instrumento de poder. Argus, el gigante de cien ojos de la mitología griega, vigila incansablemente a Io, la vaca plateada, recordándonos la fina línea entre ver y controlar. Desde la mitología hasta el Panóptico de Bentham y el concepto de observación constante de Foucault, estas obras exploran cómo la visibilidad moldea el comportamiento y cómo el control se infiltra sutilmente en la vida cotidiana. La serie invita a reflexionar sobre la tensión entre observar y ser observado, libertad y disciplina, creando un diálogo visual sobre el poder, la presencia y el ojo que nunca se cierra.

In SILVER COLORED COW e ARGUS IN THE CINEMA, l’occhio diventa uno strumento di potere. Argo, il gigante dai cento occhi della mitologia greca, veglia instancabilmente su Io, la mucca d’argento, ricordandoci il sottile confine tra vedere e controllare. Dalla mitologia al Panopticon di Bentham e al concetto di osservazione costante di Foucault, queste opere esplorano come la visibilità plasmi il comportamento e come il controllo si infiltrerà sottilmente nella vita quotidiana. La serie invita a riflettere sulla tensione tra osservare ed essere osservati, libertà e disciplina, creando un dialogo visivo sul potere, la presenza e l’occhio che non si chiude mai.
