Visiting Venice Biennale is hard work, but the ludicrous moments pay it all. One of these moments is given by Sara Lucas, in the British Pavilion. At the entrance we’re greeted by a giant yellow resin penis, standing on an antropomorphic figure, then the joke goes one with some plasters of the lower part of female bodies smoking cigarettes with their holes.

This is provocative for sure, but not enough to be offensive. The pavilion is furnished with desks and chairs (Ready-Made references?) and a supply of SPAM (the British pop-art has SPAM, not Campbell soup).

The resin sculputes are crawling on the ground looking like long tailed pets
All these non independent elments recreating a ghost of a domestic enviroment inhabited by the smoking plasters and by the resin humanoids with the standing penises. The resin sculputes are crawling on the ground looking like long tailed pets, suggesting that everyday life is a crowd of freudian displays.
