MESAS [TABLES], 1995

On six granite tables, pieces of iron (molds of the artist’s body and of endocrine glands) are placed, along with Mimosa pudica plants – sensitive plants, known as “touch-me-nots.” One of these tables is hung above these plants and its pendular movement provokes a reaction in them, when it touches them. It thus alludes to the instant of this action, thereby centralizing all the observer’s attention there, subtracting, for a few seconds, the observer’s formal presence in relation to the sculptural piece.
