Collapse Swimsuit

£80.00

At the center of the artwork by Estrid Lutz is a siliceous skeleton of a radiolarian, a single-celled aquatic animal, from which jellyfish tendrils emanate. As the print image derives from a documentation of the sculptural wall work, one can also see the light reflected on the texture of the air injected lenticular panel and other details from the original artwork. 

LIMITED EDITION OF 100 

PLEASE NOTE THE SWIMSUIT SIZING IS GENEROUS. WE RECOMMEND SIZING DOWN. E.G. IF YOU USUALLY WEAR A MEDIUM, YOU MAY WANT TO ORDER A SMALL.

Estrid Lutz (b. 1989) is a French artist working in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, Mexico. Her practice investigates the poetic intersection of technoscientific and organic processes, utilising high-tech materials and blown glass, to create a "technopoetic" synthesis that dissolves the boundaries between the natural and the artificial. Lutz studied at the Beaux-Arts in Paris and Art Center in Los Angeles, her artworks have been exhibited in the U.S, Mexico, Europe, China and elsewhere and are in prestigious public and private collections internationally.

The original artwork, Collapse 0000003 is composed of inkjet prints on photographic paper, UV treated, air injected lenticular sheets, anti-corrosion, high temperature resistant honeycomb aluminium, epoxy-resin, and fiberglass. It was conceptualised and developed graphically in Puerto Escondido before being produced sculpturally in Vienna Austria where the artwork was exhibited.
