El Auto de Fe
El Auto de Fe (Homme qui va être brûlé par arrest de l'Inquisition), is made from ceramic painted the blackest of blacks, burned alive by the Inquisition for “sins of the flesh.” All that remains are charred pieces: feet engulfed in flames that curl like locks of hair; a peaked cap engraved with demons; a rosary with the devil on a burning crucifix; two hands connected by rope, fists raised as if in a final actof defiance.
