    Description

    Superbia states "I am pride. The proud root of all evil. I am Superbia, the first of the seven capital sins. I am always the first. The tree of wickedness grows out of me. My six daughters are its forbidden fruit: gluttony, laziness, greed, anger, envy, lust." In this grotesque procession of a giant haystack with characters representing pride, edited with images of real military parades, Ulrike Ottinger depicts a subtle allegory of human vanities.
