Contained on a white shelf, on a stage delimited by a black line whose drawing reminds us of the plan view of a neoclassical architecture; there are forty figures that make up a scene where they seem to dialogue on various topics. If we approach the miniature models we can also see that they correspond to military soldiers from different eras who have been stripped of their weapons and who in turn are all wearing various exclusive Chanel designs. This work reminds us how many military castes have become elites completely detached from the people who gave them power and paradoxically become the caste they came to supplant.
