No Second Thought

Gabriela Vanga works with various mediums including photography, video, sculpture and installations to explore the boundaries between reality and fiction through the concepts of space and time. In pursuit of the unreal and dubious over the tangible and incontestable, she incorporates optical illusions in her practice.

Gabriela Vanga’s "No Second Thought" neutralises one of humankind’s oldest weapons by drawing it into the colourful world of play. Although the bow and arrow made of Lego blocks seem harmless, the work highlights how the tendency towards violence and war is normalised throughout human history and rooted in our lives right from our childhood.
