Head - war machine

Bok, Teodor (1947-2007)

It is part of the collection:

Teodor Bok's war machines are of various shapes and sizes. The one drawn here is a Head-war machine. Let us add a head-fish with an open mouth in which it holds (?) a large "beak", with eyes-cheeks, ears-cheeks; a feather hangs from the back of the head. A long neck with marked rings (at the height of the rings there are symbols: on the left: P - / W - / 72 -, on the right: - o / - 5/2 / - B) holds the head. The role of the projectile is played by a ball hanging from the bow.

In the corners of the scene, there are placed a sphere (above it the letter R), a cylinder (above it the letter P), and a cone (above it the letter S). A graphic symbol of masculinity is drawn on the right-hand side.

Tears flow from under the eyes of the machine...
