Golden Claw, 2023

English and French editions of Tintin comic books published in the 1970s, old crab basket, craft papers from the 1960s, and piece of old theater props

The “Golden Claw” installation is inspired by "crab mentality", which describes the dangerous competition that successful people face in business life, just like crabs caught and placed in a basket pull a crab to the bottom at the risk of dying. The wire crab basket in the form reminding of a pinata brings to mind a white-collar worker who tries to escape from this mentality with the long stick covered with old handicraft papers exhibited next to it. The installation is named after the Crab with the Golden Claws comic, which features Tintin's adventures on a cargo ship full of contraband.
