AN.U was the head of the Mesopotamian Pantheon; after the Deluge he granted civilization to Mankind allowing the start of cities in the Land of Sumer (Genesis, 11): as of today the result of this civilization is arguable ! The frontal posture of the God gazing off into the distance sends out a message that emphasises his own divine mission and regality; his headdress made of sailing ropes is surmounted by a big horn-shaped root, the horns being in antiquity a symbol for divinity; behind the head a large nimbus made of sailing ropes represents his holiness and power; at waist level the winged disk - symbolizing Nibiru, the planet of the Gods – shows at its centre, in cuneiform script, the rank (60) of the Almighty among the Gods The framework of the sculpture consists of one half-body male mannequin supported by an iron rod; its torso, neck and head have been cladded with sailing ropes to fashion the upper garment and create the god’s facial features; the lower part of the body is made from suitably shaped plastic sheeting covered with rough fabric over which big sailing ropes – hung at the waist-belt of the God - have been fixed and decorated with golden studs; finally the whole sculpture has been painted and bright varnished.

My name is Luciana Chiusole, but I have also an artist’s name, Bezec, that was my father’s nickname. I have always been seeing in Nature, particularly in the logs, roots and branches of cut off trees, peculiar “forms” – often originated from my reading and traveling experiences – that I try to bring about making up the roots with clay, paper mache and other, to get the shape I have “seen” and eventually painting and varnishing it. Among my recent works, the “Mannequins” series has evolved from this approach, originated from reading about the ancient mythologies when I started “dreaming” of some roots and branches, I had found somewhere, as the distinctive features of a specific “God” or “Goddess” I had learned of.
