Idols

Setu Legi’s work is an installation featuring five objects that are referred to as new idols of religious practice - something that is outside the essence of religion itself. Hestu installs equipments usually found in a house of worship, specifically a mosque. He set up loudspeakers, symbols found on the roofs of mosques, bricks and trees. Within today’s context, idols connote concepts and ways of thinking that idolize ethics and social status within the frame of capital and opportunities of domination.
