The Cassandra Complex is a series of artworks inspired by the Greek myth of Cassandra, who was given the gift of prophecy but also the curse to never be believed.

The series illustrates society’s fear of the future through humor, mischief, and slippery historical reference.

While drawing a parallel between artists and oracles, both channeling visions of the future, the work suggests that everyone might be the oracle, the powerful and the by-stander.

The Cassandra Complex contains four signature VideoPaintings and a single edition VideoFeeling. Created in 2021 by Sarah Zucker ([@thesarahshow](http://www.twitter.com/thesarahshow)) on blank.art.

The Cassandra Complex

The Queen had Cassandra sacrificed to punish her for unleashing the new ideas. But her visions could not be contained, and they freed the people from the Queen's authority. All fine and fancy friends rejoice in the splendor of the New Ways, blissfully unaware of the prophet's plight.
