"Judge of the damned ", from the serie SOTTOMONDO - "2) Lust: reserved for souls who have been dominated by the passion of the flesh. Minos is the judge of Hell, responsible for determining the circle of Hell in which each soul will be punished according to their sins. He is described as an imposing and fearsome being, capable of detecting the lies and deceptions of souls who come before him. His role in Hell is crucial to maintaining order and justice in the afterlife. Minos is represented as a normal-lookingfigure rather than bestial, to remind us that human nature can be complex and that it is important not to judge people based on their appearance. This representation emphasizes the importance of not judging people based on their appearance, but rather taking the time to get to know them and understand their story. In this way, the exhibition highlights the search for self-identityand others, a central theme of the Divine Comedy.
