Blow Up

A piece made for the ‘Uncut’ group exhibition in the Brakke Grond in Amsterdam (curated by Maze De Boer). Together, Ayumi Suzuki and I form the collective Miami Beach and Toyko Peach. With the theme of ‘Past Present and Future’ we took over the gallery’s four white wall space with two 6 meter tall blow up figures and hooked them up on remotes to inflate and disinflate. The man and woman are Abraham and Sarah, symbolic puppets used to signify turning 50 in Holland. We compressed them in the space as they softly breathed and towered over people.
