in the black and white video 'spirit with thorn' the camera circles in a slow endless ride around the metallic mirroring sculpture known as ‘boy with thorn’ in the barren martian landscape. the work captures the moment of being stopped. the situation of uncertainty transfers the sculpture in steady persistence, reinforced through the endless loop of the video. by its title and the stony, lifeless landscape the work refers to the mars rover 'spirit', which is stuck in a sand crater since 2009. it is also captured in perpetual perseverance and uncertainty. the metallic reflecting surface of the boy is reminiscent to the T-1000 of the ’terminator 2 ' blockbuster: a superior and seemingly unstoppable killing machine fails on its supposed inferior victim. as often in his video works piayda merges in ‘spirit with thorne’ references to art, science and pop culture, here he quotes a classic motif as contemporary allegory and questions the possibilities of modern technology.
