Head

Alexander Wessely

Info: In Episode 10 of ODYSSEY, Head, Swedish-Greek artist Alexander Wessely plunges us into this current. And so we meet the most powerful archetype of the hero’s journey: The Ruler. The Ruler is a figure of absolute agency, promising a reality sculpted by will alone. It’s Augustus drafting the Pax Romana, transforming the Roman Republic into an empire. It’s Genghis Khan bloodying European soil, making his name forever synonymous with conquest. But it’s also Mark Zuckerberg, the hoodie-wearing overlord of our digital lives, whose platforms have rewritten the rules of human interaction.
