Ballet for (anti-riot) water cannon vehicle

http://www.vernissage.tv | The exhibition Divertimeno - Notes for the esthetical education of the masses at Galeria Juana de Aizpuru in Madrid, Spain, by Spanish artist Fernando Sanchez Castillo revolves around one project: a ballet with (anti-riot) water gun vehicles.
Fernando Sánchez Castillo utilizes different media to investigate power and counter power: Bronze sculpture, still life photography, and painting. Their motiv: barricades and the primitive weapons used in riots: tires, Molotov cocktails, stones, nails, megaphones.
And then there's a video documentation of the project around which the whole exhibition is organized: Pegasus Dance, coreografía para camions antidisturbios (Pegasus Dance, a choreography for watergun-vehicles), a ballet realized in collaboration with the dutch police in Rotterdam.
