Bonjour Tristesse
1996
Friedmann's interest in living things is manifested in representations of animais, between hunting trophies and vanitases.
Gloria Friedmann became known in the early 1980s with spectacular works dealing with the destruction of nature, for which she used raw and unconventional materials. She presented animals in the form of stuffed bodies, bones and skulls, and sometimes even living animals. This work consists of the skin of a horse suspended by the snout. Electric wires and integrated circuits emerge from the eyes, metaphors for a post-human society and the illusions generated by the virtual world.
