The newest sculpture that Daniel Spoerri has had erected in the Giardino is part of a series with which he has been highly involved for over two years, the »Prillwitz Idols«. The impulse came from an eighteenth-century story about counterfeiters. Ungainly figures reminiscent of art brut were treated like Slavic shrines and believed to be real for over a hundred years. Daniel Spoerri was enchanted by the way that these imaginative little figurines were put together from different elements and created his own variations, but in rather different dimensions. The sculpture in the Giardino is three metres tall! The title comes from the merging of two figures. Spoerri swaps the heads of an African figure and a naive European woodcarving.
