THE GREATEST SHOW.
The essence.
The spectacle.
The answer.
THE GREATEST SHOW brings together new and recent works, expanding long-standing interest in mythmaking and the theatricality of power. Through a constellation of hybrid objects, at once seductive and grotesque, ceremonial and absurd, THE GREATEST SHOW examines the ways violence is beautified, fetishized, and consumed. This deeply personal yet highly political body of work reflects on the mechanisms of control, submission, and survival in a world marked by conflict, wars, and crisis.

Ladies and gentlemen!
Lights! Music! Faces up!
Unfasten your thinking.
Hold your breath.
Listen…
Do you hear the curtain tremble?
She’s about to appear—
Not a diva of time, but of fate.
Not a participant in history,
but the one who adjusts its course.
Yes. Her.
You know who I mean.
She whose skin is the color of evening in Mar-a-Lago.
Whose gesture is a blow to protocol.
Whose mouth never closes—because there’s always something to say.
Whose hair isn’t a hairstyle, but a strategy.
Whose silences are speeches, too.
The one who could have ended any war.
But chose instead to give the world a chance
to understand her—without explanation.
Ladies and gentlemen…
And you, who dared not to applaud at once—
Bow low.
You are being granted a chance to truly admire.
Without shame. Without irony. Without retreat.
Yes. She is magnificent.
Because the world is too weak to be this way.
