Discobolus Guilloche
Oliver Laric's *Discobolus Guilloche* reimagines the iconic ancient Greek sculpture of the discus thrower through the lens of digital transformation and reproducibility. The work overlays the classical form with intricate guilloche patterning, a repetitive, machine-generated ornamental design traditionally associated with currency and security printing, creating a tension between historical artistry and mechanical reproduction. Laric's intervention invites reflection on authenticity, copying, and the shifting nature of cultural objects across time and technology.
