Fool's Cap Map of the World (Monde dans un tête de fou, O caput elleboro dignum) depicts a court jester whose face has been replaced by a heart-shaped world map inspired by the era's master cartographers. This historical work comments on humanity's folly and its presumption to comprehend and control the world through representation, questioning which is more foolish: the world itself, or the fool who bears it. Functioning as a vanitas, it reminds viewers of the boundaries and irrationality of human knowledge. More than four centuries later, Bernhardt presents an aesthetic, poetic, and political meditation on the madness that pervades and "governs" our contemporary world and its representations. Each work and installation forms a fragment expressing what defines us as homo sapiens, homo demens, and ultimately homo sapiens demens—the 'wise madman.'
