A metal bed frame with legs supports a mass of natural cotton. Shown in its bare, essential state, the bed contains life, taking shape as an immediate measure of the human realm. In fact, the bed is the place that, more than any other, contains the stages of the human journey, from birth to death. Covered with raw wool, it is presented as a pallet that awaits occupation by a living being. The work was originally exhibited next to a second metal bed frame, which was covered by forty tiles bearing burning metaldehyde.
