Nina Maria Kleivan and his mini-dictators

Of anything doubts do not stay: this is an extremely polemic series of photos. His person in charge is the artist Danish - Norwegian Nina Maria Kleivan who under the title of “Potency“ has assembled these showy images. There talks each other of his own baby, Faustina Kleiva, dressed in famous dictators as Adolf Hitler, Benitto Mussolinni or Joseph Stalin.

His target is to show like all we are born with the potentiality to turn into individuals as harmful as these historical personages. For that it confirms the innocence of a child with the atrocity of a dictator. The artist tries to show like all we are born with the same opportunities to realize negative and incomprehensible actions.

The polemic came untied in all those countries where the series of photos was exhibited. Thanks to Internet also it expanded on a global scale. Anyway, her the first controversy took place at a more intimate level: the father of the girl went mad really when it found a bracelet with a swastika on his office. His mother confesses that for her also it was a painful experience.

It knows the small dictators next.
