Hedi Xandt - A King’s Bed (2014)
scrive l'artista: The sarcophagus of “A King’s Bed” is both a sculpture and grave. Framed by a massive, veinless slab of angular-cut white marble, the inlay is created by pouring maximum hot bronze over a human carcass. The molten metal burns all tissue until it settles on the remains.
This piece explores the idea of creating an eternal resting place as a sculpture, uniting the pagan idea of a fire burial with christian entombment.
