Prometheus
Marie Farsi
Prometheus, as a woman. In this radical visual adaptation and re-imagining of the Greek myth, the Titaness is on a mountain-top, stuck between earth and an infernal sky. After she stole the fire of the Gods to give it to mankind, the tyrannical Zeus got very angry, and punished the trickster by imprisoning her up there where an eagle ate her liver all day and for eternity. Mixing origami puppets, cut-outs, objects and pixilation, «Prometheus» is a poem about resilience and the reclamation of the natural order, and of feminine power inside the patriarchy.
