Rapunzel

video, (1min), 2014
Sculpture, Tulle, Bra, (1968 x 64 in.)

Picture
🇺🇸
This video shows a woman opening a window on the 15th floor of a public housing project and throwing her bra below, the cups of which have been replaced by gigantic sleeves (164 feet) with gloves attached to the end. After these sleeves fall and unfold they eventually reach the bottom of the building.
Inspired from the tale of Rapunzel, a princess locked in a tower who throws her gigantic braid out the window for a prince to climb and save her, this video depicts social themes of poverty and desperation.
🇫🇷
Cette vidéo montre une femme qui ouvre la fenêtre du quinzième étage d’un HLM de Paris, et qui jette son soutien gorge, dont les bonnets remplacés par des manches gigantesque de 50 mètres se terminent par des gants. Les manches tombent et se déroulent pour atteindre le bas de l’immeuble.  
​Inspiré par le conte populaire de la princesse Raiponce, cette vidéo dépeint des thèmes sociaux de
pauvreté et de désespoir.
