Nostra Signora della Censura

Carlos Atoche's work is inspired by the Ephedrismos group, a sculpture of antiquity. The statue is in fact the reproduction of the Ephedrismos, a childish game dating back to Ancient Greece, which consisted of trying to hit a pebble standing with another stone. The loser paid penance and had to reach the stone called "limit", carrying on his shoulders the winner who in the meantime covered his eyes. With neutral tones, the artist told a small piece of local history, a story of those that do not go in the newspapers but for a small territory or a slice of community they have great value. Perhaps moved by the green massacre, he associated the two headless bodies with the sensations sent back to him by that place where the flowerbeds that contained the trees were converted for mundane needs into simple heaps of cement.
