Outside the exhibition at Pavillion Bosio you'll find Joana Vasconcelos' high heeled shoe inspired by Marilyn Monroe and made entirely of stainless steel saucepans and lids. This enormous shoe rather messes up our idea of perspective, don't you think...

Oh, Marilyn! Were her feet really THAT big? Quite a foot hugging perspective! Bravo, Jilly!
ReplyDeleteLooks great in b/w - and I like the close-up too Jilly!
ReplyDeleteA very old perspective on women: good cook, good looking, that's all that's asked of her. I'm not sure I enjoy the message...
ReplyDeleteGreat find anyway, and great photo :-)
This is certainly a different perspective of pots and pans as well as shoes.
ReplyDeleteIt might also be a different perspective on the traditional view that a woman's place is in the kitchen, although my view is that a woman's place is where ever she wants to be.
Also, I express no opinion on whether high heels are liberating or confining. I don't wear them nor try to influence or encourage anyone to wear them, so I am unqualified to express an opinion.
Certainly a piece of art that stirs up the critical juices and lively conversation! For that reason alone it is living art! It even seems oddly placed! More lively conversation I expect from that thought! I love its challenge!
ReplyDeleteHow cool to see Joana's "Marilyn" (shoe) on your blog! Do you know her work? I'm a big fan of hers. www.joanavasconcelos.com
ReplyDeleteGreat interpretation on the theme, Jilly.
What a perspective! I sort of like this piece of work. :)
ReplyDeleteif you wear those kind of heels, I doubt you spend much time at the oven
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a bit different.
ReplyDeleteI guess there must be a few chefs out there that can't do any cooking now that all their pans have been used for this piece of art.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very unique and excellent concept. I am impressed on how the saucepans and stuff were pieced together to make a wonderful shoe! I love it and I guess Marilyn Monroe would be fascinated when she sees it.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I've never seen anything quite like that.
ReplyDeleteHi Jilly!
ReplyDeleteI was there last week! Did you see my comment in the guest book? ;-)) I thought maybe the artist doesn't like cooking, so she built the shoe out of her saucepans!

This is quite some awesome art!
