A Natural History of Sphinxes

The Sphinx is certainly one of the most powerful symbols of the attraction of the East by the West. It is mythicised as treacherous and merciless, with the head of a woman, the haunches of a lion and the wings of a bird. Koen Broucke made a diptych of a Sphinx commissioned by Rasa this summer. As a part of the project, it was exhibited in a private house of musicians during several months, were it served as a background for musical performances, encountering the east and the West.status: accepte
