Little Liar


Pandora’s “box” is a mistranslation from the Greek word pithos, a roughly human-sized terracotta container. In Little Liar, the mythical vessel is represented by a series of vases decorated with scenes from classical art. Each vase is topped with a priapic figure of Pinocchio, animating and making explicit the act of looking.
