ZOUMBOULAKIS PRESENTS: IT WAS SAFER BURNING BY KENNEDY BIANCA

During my visit to Bianca Kennedy’s It was safer burning, I found myself amused by the sheer eccentricity of it all, until I wasn’t. 

At some point between the soft bunnies and flickering video installations, a question emerged: How far can an obsession go? 

Developed during her residency with Zoumboulakis Gallery, 

Kennedy’s show dives deep into the mythology of the bunny, not as a symbol of innocence, but as a vessel of protest, memory, and vengeance.

At the heart of the exhibition is the transformation of the rabbit into a hybrid figure: part Nemesis, the Greek goddess of retribution, part silent witness. 

Across painted wood panels, delicate drawings, and a looped animation, we meet these eerie creatures wide-eyed yet unreadable, soft yet simmering with quiet revolt.

Kennedy reclaims the “cute” and turns it into something symbolic and sharp, a visual world where softness becomes a vessel for resistance, and protest wears a fur coat.
