Like an artificial garden, the series Daedalus Overdrive consists of a set of pieces that examine the myth of Daedalus and Icarus to reflect on the idiosyncratic principles of the 1920s, during which speed was a synonym of industrial evolution and social prosperity. For these pieces, Gil has ransomed five classic car ornaments – slightly leaning winged man and women –, collected in antique dealers from around the world, to generate a disconcerting symmetry between ornaments from different eras. These ornaments, recognizable symbols of automobile brands, have been losing their original function to be contemplated as the remains of a glorious past, which is accentuated here by the contrast between the dynamism and elegance of forms and the weight of the pedestal that anchors them to the floor.
