Vite sacre is one most political works of Valentina Murabito. It shows two actually peaceful goats like belligerent bulls. The goats appear more powerful than they are in reality, because Murabito has changed their anatomy through experiments in the darkroom.
The photographic work is inspired by the theories of Michel Foucault and represents a visual reflection on the value of a life in our time of Bio-Politics, as the philosopher defined it.
