Kendell Geers

Twilight of the Idols (115)

2005

A provocative and boundary-pushing work by South African artist Kendell Geers, *Twilight of the Idols (115)* engages with themes of power, transgression, and cultural mythology that have long defined his practice. Drawing on the Nietzschean reference embedded in its title, the work challenges dominant ideologies and sacred systems of belief, inviting viewers to confront the structures that shape human consciousness. Geers masterfully blurs the boundary between reverence and subversion, creating a charged visual and conceptual tension that is at once unsettling and seductive.
