Fun Facts of Movie
Donated piece by Teresa Sapey´s colector
Rage of the Caliban (installation view), 2006
Full moon cycle in 28 minutes with 5′ mirror on the floor.
«Rage of the Caliban» was inspired by the quote in Oscar Wilde’s Preface of “The Picture of Dorian Gray”:
“The nineteenth century dislike of Realism is the rage of Caliban seeing his own face in a glass.
The nineteenth century dislike of Romanticism is the rage of Caliban not seeing his own face in a glass.”
It is the moon seeing its own reflection come and go as it cycles through its phases in 28 minutes (the normal cycle is 28 days).
