Eaux Man's Land

2017

Eaux Man's Land, 2017

Art installation

In this installation, the artist evokes the situation of exiles who "fail" at the gates of Europe by crossing the Mediterranean, which has become an immense cemetery.

From colored plastic bags (known as "Tati bags"), used mainly by African migrants exiled in Europe, the artist manufactures child-like boats which she superimposes on transparent crystal canvas.

The idea of making boats of simplistic shape and different sizes with these bags, refers to the precariousness of the boats used by the exiles, ready to do anything to survive.


The Wave created by the superposition of the transparent canvas gives a movement and depth to the work in which the artist allows us to imagine the boats both buried under the sea and those who arrive as best we can to cross the gates of Europe.
