amazing, just released pic of fidel castro in hospital on his deathbed.
well, kind of….
this is an awesome work by artist Shen Shaomin showing on cockatoo island as part of the 2010 sydney bienalle.
fidel is prone in hospital here, mechanics providing a rising and sinking chest as he is making his death rattles. he is positioned as a point of a pentagram, the other points are life-sized and equally freakish models of lenin, great leader chaiman mao, uncle ho, and great leader kim il-sung.
he’s in great company. very tongue in cheek, the work is called ‘summit’(2010). i like.
another photo from the amazing series.
