With “I hated You Already Because Of The Lies I Had Told You” (2011) by Gilbert Hage, the volume of the tongue comes out of the skin face becoming a plane and smooth wall surface whose texture reminds of the way great Flemish painters’ masterpieces depicted the skin texture. The artist title establishes a dialogue and triggers both viewers’ reflection and perception to eventually evoke here allegorically the situation of the powerlessness peoples protesting against dictatorship in the jasmine revolutions also known as the Arab spring.
