| Description: | This installation is one of three –matrix sets– that was created for the Great Hall of Les Tanneries Centre for Contemporary Art in Amilly, France. Entitled Life Line, it reactivates Lucy Orta's interest in the increasing fragility of human populations by associating a military ambulance with a large deployment of customised camp beds. These new Life Guards are designed as genuine individual refuges, echoing her Refuge Wear project from the 1990s. While questioning the fragility and precariousness of the body and of human nature, the artist also underlines resilience and outbursts of solidarity. |
