A Reflecting Paste

A Reflecting Paste is the title of this pair of two ready-made plastic drums of 220 litters each. Cut vertically, they have a mirrored side that drops like wax when in contact with the heat of the human body (37 C). The two sculptures are created in copy, they are read together as if one were placed in a mirror facing the other. These sculptures can be read as measuring tools for the exhibition space, highlighting for instance the change of temperature in a given spot. It is also the human portrait, the viewers's image that is dropping in those fragile barrels standing as if they were two lungs breathing landscape. The lid of the containers are carved out of lead.
