Laure Prouvost | In Reflection We Rest

About

 A gathering of “metal men” will welcome you, offer you to rest with them, keeping cool. The steady trickle of liquid generated by the ample breasts and tentacular appendages of “cooling system” fountains should calm the senses and ease some weary bones. They are resting yet they need to keep up appearances in order to avoid being packed away in storage. Their main job is to appear useful, getting you to a state of relaxation away from the noise, to ward against their own obsolescence.

They’ve been on a journey this past year, by car and on horseback, from the Parisian suburbs to the Mediterranean Sea—and, finally, to Venice. With them, you visited places, drawing upon our past and dreaming of our future. Now, we’d like to... rest there with you and reflect and perhaps only half remember.
