Through the embrace of capitalism, human degeneration is explored in “Ziggurat,” the latest exhibition of ACC grantee and visual artist Mideo Cruz at Kaida Contemporary in Quezon City. The show is further described in his exhibition notes, “…though opulence and grandeur are often displayed through excessive consumption, the continual debasement of the quality of human life lies underneath the glitter. Block by block, the idea of development devours humanity. As humans consume the illusion, they are the ones who are inevitably consumed.”
