MA + PA
As we’ve previously reported last March 08,
Madonna‘s image is used in a new installation by South African artist Candice Breitz who draws on contemporary mass culture, devising new systems for understanding reality. Born in 1972 an raised in Johannesburg, Breitz belongs to the South African generation that lived through the reign of Apartheid. Her work is featured in a exhibit at Il Castello Di Rivoli (Rivoli Castle) in Turin, Italy.
The two main pieces of this exhibition are called Mother + Father and Ma + Pa.
Ma + Pa is centered on Madonna and Freddy Mercury. A segment of Madonna from the Papa don’t preach video in which she says PA is alternated to a segment of Freddy Mercury from the Bohemian Rapsody video in which he says MA.
Mario, our friend and long time visitor from Torino attended the exhibit and sent us images of MA + PA that you can see below.
