ARA! ARA!

A fantastical parade of hybrid creatures and vibrant fabrics, ARA! ARA! is the second part of a diptych by Ginevra Panzetti and Enrico Ticconi that explores the deeper nature of relationships. Throughout history, rising powers have not always chosen to be represented by majestic or fearsome creatures. At times, they have taken on the image of a more unusual animal: a lively, exotic bird – the parrot. Since antiquity, the bright colours and mythical animals of heraldic symbols have reflected political tensions, expressions of belonging, assertion, and power. A complex system of codes developed to distinguish opposing factions in battle. Following AeReA, ARA! ARA! once again draws on the folkloric tradition of flag-waving to investigate the symbolic power of the flag. At the centre is once again the image of the banner, now the vehicle for a reflection on the political nature of both individual and collective relationships.
