Het beeld stelt een absurde variatie op de bekende Degas-icoon voor, maar dan uitgevoerd in polyester en dierenhuid. De figuur heeft iets heel dynamisch en beweeglijks. Door de materiaalkeuze, maar ook door de verdraaiingen straalt het beeld een tegelijk historische en a-historiserende sfeer uit. Na de concept-kunst maakt Rogiers weer beelden waarbij vorm en materiaalkeuze op de eerste plaats komen en die verwijzen naar een herkenbare realiteit.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"actors":[{"id":1846,"name":"Peter Rogiers","category":{"en":"Creator","nl":"Vervaardiger","fr":"Créateur"}}]}
