Description

Resistant to water and wind, this material is used in emergencies – victims of road accidents, navigation accidents, etc. – because it ensures 90% retention of body heat while waiting for the arrival of better equipped help.

The work is installed held by wire from the ceiling.

This first iteration of the work belongs to a private collection. The work was produced a second time, found as: Emergency Blanket in a Bundle Part two.

Statement

The work is constructed in a bundled way, neutralizing the original function of the material. But it also carries different connotations linked to modernist sculpture. The work is light however it presents itself as solid and heavy.
