Baligo

"Pink Mindset and Lemon Ears" is a sculptural dialogue between Bulgarian artist Lora Nestorova and Ecuadorian artist José Cobos. Using a contemporary adaptation of the Surrealist “cadavre exquis,” each sculpture is built “blind” in three sections—head, torso, and legs—with each artist responding only to the cues left by the other at the joints. Baligo explores the state of being “careless” and unburdened. • Head (Lora): Inspired by the honey badger—the ultimate “warrior” animal. Despite its small size, it fears nothing and is always ready to stand its ground, embodying a fearless, careless attitude. • Torso (José): To be truly “careless” is to embrace one’s body regardless of societal beauty standards. A stout, relaxed torso—a “monster” on vacation—a tribute to the unapologetic joy of a person on the beach, comfortable in their own skin and enjoying the moment without reserve. • Legs (Lora): The frog-like legs emphasize this casual defiance; one leg flashes a middle finger while the other wears a swimming accessory, suggesting a creature that has just emerged from the water, ready to rest and ignore the world.
