This woman had been held down while her hair was shaved off by hospital staff who didn't want to be bothered with the hassle of treating her hair lice.
"Mourning the broken balance, the hopeless prostration of the earth
Under men's hands and their minds,
The beautiful places killed like rabbits to make a city,
The spreading fungus, the slime-threads
And spores; my own coast's obscene future: I remember the farther
Future, and the last man dying
Without succession under the confident eyes of the stars.
It was only a moment's accident,
The race that plagued us; the world resumes the old lonely immortal
Splendor; from here I can even
Perceive that that snuffed candle had something . . . a fantastic virtue,
A faint and unshapely pathos . . .
So death will flatter them at last: what, even the bald ape's by-shot
Was moderately admirable?"
~ Robinson Jeffers, 1887-1962 ~

Sadly not quite sharp enough for the scrap theme in CM - too little time and too much in my hands at the time....

Babis Kandilaptis is a Greek artist living and working in Belgium. Since the 1980s, the thrust of his plastic arts practice has been to measure the impact images have on our memory and our collective imaginary. Through paintings, drawings, sculptures, and mural or spatial installations, he explores a broad range of fundamental topics, such as history, religion and society.
The three pieces presented at Art Souterrain form part of a broader reflection on writing. The Greek words ‘Praxis,’ ‘Krisis’ and ‘Pathos’ are reproduced on posters and in neon lights, a poetic reinterpretation of the advertising world. Contrary to the clear slogans used in advertising, the use of Greek text obscures the message being conveyed and baffles the spectator. These words, though intended to convey a shared idea, have a different meaning in French, making for a difficult translation. Through a graphic process that is elegant and attractive, the artist addresses troubling issues in the world of work today: action, crisis and suffering.
Art souterrain 2018, (Place de la Cité internationale) Montreal, Quebec.
Greek Hellenistic bronze sculpture estimated to be from the 4th to 1st century BC.
It was excavated in 1885 on the Quirinal Hill, where it appears to have been carefully buried to preserve it.
The sculptor has skillfully conveyed the pathos of the battered and defeated boxer, in contrast to earlier, more heroic statues.
