Sull’opera
The architect and set designer Desprez favoured theatrical depictions. Here he offers a free interpretation of a chimera, a hybrid mythological creature, which he turns into a three-headed desert monster hunting for food in front of a run-down palace in North Africa. The partly digested carcass of its last victim still sticks out of its ribcage and the ground is littered with animal remains.
