About work

Inflatable sculpture

Human Core Statue is a transparent inflatable sculpture. It consists of polythene walls and pillows filled with air: upon the entrance of the viewer into the box, the door shuts automatically and the person inside is literally imprisoned inside for a brief moment by the inflating plastic pillows.

 

In my conception, this work is incomplete until someone enters the sculpture.
