The work Lepidoptera Bellicum formally reproduces an entomological box, widely used for conservation and exhibition of insect specimens in natural science museums and biology colleges. Here the butterflies in the "collection" have miniature plastic toy guns as their bodies. Lepidoptera Bellicum is a critique of masculinity stereotypes, since weapons are also a form of ostensible demonstration of a man's virility. But here the weapons are somehow emasculated by the delicate butterflies, which are usually more associated with the feminine rather than the masculine. |
