This exhibition, promoted by Group Zart 21, is based on the projects of 30 participants, with the purpose of animating the space, giving use to the beds of the hospital that were no longer being used. Each artist intervened with one or more beds.
The bed is associated with sleep, rest, illness and love… the bed of birth, the marital bed and the funeral bed are the object of all care and a kind of veneration, of life in its fundamental state, not in its most evolved degrees.
With the sculptures made from polyester resin with fibreglass, using direct plaster casts, I intend to create an illusory scenario in which the observer and the surrounding space participate in its creation. A room set up outdoors, an incomplete composition of objects that everyone’s imagination tries to complete.
An unreal situation that aims to be interactive and fun.
