Meira Grossinger’s exhibit “Human Cell” is a site specific installation built from wooden cargo boxes.
These boxes enclose figures that are made from used materials – human detritus like remnants of clothes, old newspaper, broken furniture, iron net and more, skillfully forming half naked, sensual body parts. This process of sewing and knitting, connects together the different elements, that are recycled
into objects conveying feelings and ideas.
Louise Bourgeois, the world known sculptress, is a source of inspiration for Grossinger. Through her sensual use of materials to create fragmented figural elements, especially in her works “Cells”, that were created during the nineties of the twentieth century, Bourgeois conveys her childhood difficulties and also her feminine experiences during adulthood.
In this exhibit Grossinger’s “Human Cells” combine both figurative and abstract elements to form an installation where the whole room is in itself one big cell…
