Rescue Party
1992
The sculpture Rescue Party consists of six figures dressed in PVC rescue suits with screen-printed with plants and flowers, creating camouflage patterns for a series of biotopes—from a cactus desert to a mangrove swamp to arctic tundra. Forming a human landscape, the group stands in cast concrete, as thought they are about to be drowned by mobsters. Here, the saviors themselves are placed in a tricky situation.
