Self; ongoing project by Marc Quinn
شنبه, ۱ آبان ۱۳۹۵، ۱۲:۰۲ ق.ظ
"Self" is a frozen sculpture of the artist's head made from 9 litres of his own blood, taken from his body over a period of five months, the first of which was made in 1991. Described by Quinn as a "frozen moment on lifesupport", the work is carefully maintained in a refrigeration unit, reminding the viewer of the fragility of existence. Quinn makes a new version of Self every five years, each of which documents Quinn’s own aging and physical deterioration.
