Imágenes contra el SIDA. Artis. Paris - France. Liliana Porter.

Liliana Porter is an artist born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1941 who lives and works in New York; 'Porter's artworks are like artifacts of play, reminding adults of the satisfaction of having control over subjects that stand in for ourselves. Whether in photography, video, painting, sculpture, collage, or a combination of the above, her casts [often toy animals, including rabbits] appear throughout her oeuvre in scenes as diverse as the figures themselves. Sometimes they are in peril, other times amorous, mournful, outraged, coy, or courageous, pulling the viewer in with a hook of empathy or intrigue. [extract from http://www.diaart.org/porter ]
