A two-sided folding poster telling the myth of Tiresias, a greek blind prophet of Apollo in Thebes, famous for clairvoyance and for being transformed into a woman for seven years. The text is an extract from Ovid’s Metamorphoses in which the main theme is changing: a shift from man to woman and viceversa; from sight to blindness to second sight.

The front of the poster contains the poem’s extract and 3 illustrations: both text and pictures share the characteristic of being upside down, depicting the multiple changes of the protagonist. If the reader is given the closed poster (A5 sized) he’ll have to open it to continue the stanzas; after the first “pages” he’ll have to turn the sheet in his hands to complete the passage. The illustrations can be similarly read in both directions as it happens in playing cards. They symbolize the quarrel between Zeus and Hera, Tiresias’ shift of sex after killing two snakes and his loss of vision, becoming a clairvoyant.

The back of the poster summerizes this transformation with three eyes and the name of the writer: Ovidio.

The first “O” takes the place of the pupil, the middle part in the second eye, “vidi”, is latin for “saw”, standing for Tiresias’ loss of his sight; the last eye contains the final “O” and other circles, displaying his second sight.
