Artiste : Lucy Sparrow
L’artiste britannique Lucy Sparrow travaille un matériau peu habituel, le feutre. Elle découpe, colle, coud et assemble des morceaux de textile pour recréer des objets du quotidien ou de la pop culture. En utilisant toujours sa matière de prédilection, elle crée « 8’till late« , une supérette entièrement composée de produits en feutre.
L’installation située sur la High Line de Manhattan ressemble à première vue à un magasin classique dans lequel on retrouve tous les éléments essentiels d’une épicerie. Des chips aux produits surgelés en passant par le stand de livres et de DVDs, Lucy Sparrow n’a oublié aucun détail.
Elle avait précédemment réalisé une autre installation de ce type, « The Corner Shop », au Royaume-Uni. Mais pour que son magasin soit le plus réaliste possible, l’artiste adapte sa marchandise. Ainsi, le marmite britannique est remplacée par l’emblématique jambon en boîte Spam. Découvrez tout son travail sur son compte Instagram.
