Icarus Junior<\/em>, a parable…<\/p>\n

Icarus Junior <\/em>is a contemporary version of the mythical figure from Ancient Greece who flew too close to the Sun. Icarus Junior<\/em> likes to think he has learned from his forefather\u2019s tragic lack of judgment, but ultimately he is fated to repeat his mistakes.<\/p>\n

Icarus Junior<\/em> is outfitted with the newest of technologies, far exceeding the safety standards of his forefather\u2019s generation. He is warm and secure, even as he soars to great heights, at blistering speed.<\/p>\n

Icarus Junior<\/em> needn’t worry about crashing. But the windswept landscape looks a little bleaker every day. He surveys a continuous sequence of plagues, floods and fires. Insulated and numbed, Icarus Junior witnesses the slow collapse of his world from his lofty vantage. He is unlikely to suffer the mechanical failures that doomed his father, but he is a victim of his ambitions nonetheless.<\/p>\n

Icarus Junior<\/em> was originally conceived and developed in Helsinki, Finland, in March 2008, during an artist residency at the Arabia Factory (with the generous support of the Arabia Art Department Society).<\/p>\n
