"Ka Y Sōken" — The Extinction of a Certain Royal House
Information
A fallen royal line kneels at the mercy of a severe, gloved woman and an elaborate apparatus of tubes, plugs, restraints, and piercing jewelry. The promise of “The Fall of a Royal Line” gives way to bound captives who are gagged, wired, chained, and exposed to escalating stimulation, their trembling bodies and cries turning dynastic collapse into a controlled ordeal. “DON’T LOOK AWAY” hangs over one confrontation, while another voice singles out Imelda, deepening the sense that the women are being watched, ranked, and broken by a ruthless hierarchy. A final kneeling figure, solemn and fully accessorized, suggests the ceremony’s next phase: obedience has become performance, and the royal line survives only as the captive body at the center of the machine.Show moreShow less
