"Acéphale” oil on canvas 30*40 (2023)

This work is dedicated to George Bataille, its name is coming from his most know work as magazine and notion. Acéphale means « without head » (in ancient greek ἀκέφαλος , aképhalos). The term represent next possible act of the human after all of illuminating revolutions, industrialist egalisation, ideals which served raison. Bataille claimed that the conclusion of the ages in which human created a history, built a life, tried to hold meanings that he founds, struggled on aimless dialectic is a disaster. Individual hugs his mind, explore the world, reach treasure, begin and adventure as a hero. But yet this process not giving anything, all we have is a myth or simulacra(as Baudrilllard will claim) which gets stronger, realer, touchable, feelable with each acts of head. Then we should remove our head, take of our heart which burning with a searching of a truth and hold it well, release the labyrinth of life (on painting represented as a snake which is symbol of life) from stomac to declare the absance of truth to unexplored, unexplained or unreached world. If we'll do that, we will not be a hero or anything important, valuable, but maybe we can be still a clown in circus of nihil like Hugo Ball said.
