The work is inspired by the 16th-century engravings of the ‘Mundus inversus’ in which a radical reversal of social roles and relations between humans and animals is proposed in order to produce an impossible representation. ln “Inverso Mundus”, medieval carnival scenes appear as episodes from contemporary life in which characters act out absurd social utopias and exchange masks, transforming themselves from beggars to rich people, from policemen to thieves.
