backed balls

Die Hoden werden in der Arbeit zum Symbol von Männlichkeit schlechthin. Die kultische Art sie zu betrachten macht sie zur begehrenswerten Trophäe. Gleichzeitig wird das Konstrukt aber aufgelöst durch Ekel, Ironisierung und Zerstörung.

bull balls

The notion that the testicles turn into a masculine symbol, that implies at the same time a position of power within society, gave me the idea of creating artificial bull balls. Almost in a cultic sense I presented them as a desirable trophy but not without mutilating, mocking and finally destroying them.
