Groups of figures, created in the Renaissance period and conceived as a compositional
unit since antiquity, are brutally separated - torn apart.

Laocoön faces a more powerful and invisible enemy today, the virus. In the lockdown, in
isolation, Apollo’s gaze is ultimately broken, always wandering into the distance.

By virtue of unity, the protagonists grow by the restrictions. Liberation is the ascent, the common overcoming of the threat in a newly created formation.

Parallels in the storyline branch this work even further and let it break out to Ireland, where the agency “The Tenth Man“ co-founded by Richard Seabrooke, publishes a similarly
themed video entitled “The Phoenix“.

“Together we will rise again.“
