The work is a reflection about victory, and analyses through visual suggestions its two key aspects: goals and trails. The artist imagines a great showcase of black and white strange trophies, using only fragments of other people's victories; over 300 used trophies were bought at an online auction and reconstructed. The work engages with an era in which we represent ourselves through social networks only as winners. The second part is a real fitness path realised with an architecture studio: an impassable golden gym, a suitable space for mind training. The installation uses a series of gold-coated 24K brass sculptures and links, retrieving shapes and materials from the visually-emptied trophies.
