Franco Fasoli hails from Buenos Aires and it shows: his work is indebted, among other things, to fileteado, an Argentine painting style characterised by distinct, stylised lines. But what is also striking about his work is the constant struggle - a clash between people, animals, ideas, colours and civilisations. So too in this work, in which he stages a ritual of men dressed as tigers. Are they fighting or dancing? You can't tell either from the toilet rolls, because they are used at weddings as well as by hooligans.
