Marte

The battle enrages in the room, a small battlefield, that could be a place in our mind. The many little soldiers arrange irregularly on the territory: a child is playing a wargame in the living room. The war with real soldiers it's an adults' strategy game, where human beings have the same rule they have now for this child: tin soldier, plastic troops, nameless, Unknown Soldier. Is there life on Mars?

In this room the walls are inspired by the style in the first art works by Sol LeWitt: between the lines the symbol of Mars planet is represented. The little soldiers fight for an empty throne, no one is sitting there: the vanity of power.
