Prometheus, as a woman. After she stole the fire of the Gods to give it to mankind, the tyrannical Zeus got very angry, and punished the trickster by imprisoning her on a mountain-top where an eagle ate her liver all day and for eternity. Mixing origami puppets, cut-outs, objects and pixilation, this visual poem is about resilience and the reclamation of the natural order, and of feminine power inside the patriarchy.
