Alliothea

2012
Walk-in installation
210 x 180 x 200 cm

In the fairy tale Goose Maid, the betrayed and traumatized king's daughter speaks to the head of her dead horse: “Oh Fallada, you who hang there ...” The wise king encourages her to speak the truth, but as she has sworn an oath of silence, she can only complain about her suffering to an old stove...

In her performances, Lara speaks confidentially with the horse's head “Milai”, who, like Socrates Daimon, issues kind warnings and truths.
The installation “Alliothea” (= truth) takes the shape of a stove and nests it fractally. Inspired by the Japanese Kintsugi tradition
The edges, cracks and broken edges are highlighted in gold. Inside there is a collage that is constantly changing.
