Le Réveil / Galatea (with arm)

myminifactory

A remake of Laurent Marquest's 'Le Réveil', crafted between 1851-1925. The plaster sculpture, scanned at The Musée des Augustins, was missing an arm and has been digitally restored in this model. The remade sculpture was created for a digital art exhibition at Stockholm's Metro: During two weeks in March, hundreds of digital billboards in Stockholm’s Metro were transformed into a comprehensive digital art exhibition. Six artists were asked to create a piece that would convey a unique positive feeling. The art was then triggered by people's real-time emotions – through analyzing the current mood of the citizens and their use of social media throughout the day. The goal was to help people feel happier and less stressed while commuting. I was tasked with portraying the feeling of being secure. The objective was to set a familiar yet abstract tone, using tactile objects and materials. The piece is divided into three sections; soft bodies, foam, and cloth. Each represents different layers of protection however, all share the same caring and comforting aspect. instagram.com/lindborg.tv/ behance.net/jesperlindborg https://vimeo.com/351041917
