Hidra Capitalista (Bandeira)
Hidra Capitalista (Bandeira)
Capitalist Hydra (Flag) is a multiple by Rivane Neuenschwander, a flag with the print of a hydra, a mythological serpent with nine regenerating heads. The monstrous figure bears the names of corporations, industries and different commodities, in a critique of the apparently indisputable character of capitalist organizations. Neuenschwander is inspired by the iconography of the Zapatista National Liberation Army, denouncing the role of big business in the accelerated destruction of the environment and life on Earth. The flag was produced by the Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein, on the occasion of the retrospective exhibition Knife does not cut fire (2022) in Vaduz, Liechtenstein.
