(via ‘Domestication of Pyramids’ by Magdalena Jetelova | The Fox Is Black)
The images above show a pyramid that could have easily been lifted directly from Egypt and dropped rather haphazardly into the museum. Jetelova’s work comments on this dislocation; the Western mentality of taking important parts of our history and placing them inside museums. This is the ‘domestication’ that the works title refers to. It’s a powerful visual metaphor and one which I’d have loved to have seen in real life.
