L'attitude 33° - An Interactive Installation by Alejandra de Solminihac and Rebecca Townsend



L'attitude 33° looks at how developing countries, particularly in the South, have been plundered of resources, and treated like a dumping ground for waste.
L'attitude 33° is an interactive artwork; the glass gems can be moved or taken. Are we aware of all the costs; of the social, economic and cultural reshaping that is happening?

Giving and Receiving
This work emerged from a study of the extraordinary complexity in which the human body is able to recreate life, and how this is common to each and every one of us.The image of the falopean tubes and ovaries are created using acupuncture needles, while the uterus is a mirror, so that when every person looks into the image they see themselves and their origin.

I entitled this work 'Closer' as it reflects the way n which I tend to look at things very closely, often too closely to see the bigger picture.
But in looking at things closer I am overwhelmed
by the exquisite detail.
