The Danish artist Thyra Hilden and the Argentinian artist Pio Diaz form the installation duo Hilden and Diaz. Their primary focus is transformation and paradoxes. Their starting point is already existing cultural icons and basic elements, which they transform and modify to tamper with the common perception. Their main project together is City on Fire (2005 – 2010), a large-scale video installation setting buildings and monuments on virtual fire in order to reveal the fragile and transitory nature of man-made constructions. This project culminated with the installation in Rome ”Coliseum on Fire” here presented.
