Short Review
This work by Enzo Cucchi is disturbing from any angle. On one side, Cucchi depicts a black castle on a white background, supported by two skulls. This suggests that it is Dracula's castle, or at least a castle surrounded by a sinister rumor.
On the other side, Cucchi encloses the castle in a sort of niche, and in this case, the castle is white on a black background. Looming over the castle is a figure, a kind of green cylindrical amulet, alluding to the work's shamanic meaning.
