Drawing from my interest in popular culture, I associate here the cursed superheroes of the X-Men with the alternative movement Fluxus of the 1960s. In addition to the simultaneous emergence of the two groups, the ideological incongruity of their members led both institutions to reject certain conventions while integrating perfectly into institutional systems (museum for Fluxus, school for X-Men). These two groups, whether fictional or real, are protean in composition, with membership varying according to sporadic manifestations. Thus, in homage to the sacred and protean members of Fluxus, I associated them with various trickster animals from different cultures.
