I establish references to the Power Ball Lottery one of the most widespread and popular in the United States. The pieces are made up of series of portraits of politicians, world leaders, and other public, characters printed on ping pong balls (like those used to draw the lottery numbers and bingo). This emphasize symbolically, the random surprising and tragicomic processes of ascension to power nowadays. \nSome pieces establish a dysfunctional dialogue between the portrayed individuals, highlighting political, ideological or religious conflicts  yet unsolved, others manifesting the contradiction between the so-called \"positive and negative leaders\" as North Korea (Kim Jong-un) - Korea South (Park Geun-hye); Israel (Benjamin Netanyahu) - Palestine (Mahmoud Abbas); Cuba (Castro) - USA (Obama) etc. Other works have a more playful character as the Ping Pong table game where Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump face, portrayed on pallets, against a ball that has on both sides the USA map in blue and red","space":"An approximately 5 x 6 x 3  meters room , 1 or 2 video projectors or 1 OR 2 TV sets. \nThe installation is very adaptable and I can use some of the pieces and videos or not depending of the space provided without change the sense of the pieces and the essence of the installation.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":null,"audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"names":"SANDRA","surname":"RAMOS","email":"sandramosl@yahoo.es","dni_type":"PASAPORTE","dni":"567027796","address":"100 BAYVIEW apt 1706","city":"Sunny Isles Beach","nacionality":"american \/ cuban","country_id":"236","birthdate":"1969-10-16T04:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1969-10-16T04:00:00.000Z","telephone":"7862199055","web":"www.sandraramosart.com","fileCount":10}
