Structures Humaines Vancouver

Borofsky examine la complémentarité des contraires, l’unicité et la municipalité, la simplicité et la complexité, la naïveté et la sophistication, autant de fragments de l’Un et du Tout. Ses œuvres évoquant les pyramides humaines sont les symboles d’une interconnexion universelle. Son art et aussi autoportrait : «En me servant de la forme humaine comme d’un symbole, je peux mieux comprendre le rapport entre ma personnalité psychologique et philosophique et le monde qui m’entoure… J’essaie d’explorer dans l’une comme dans l’autre qui je suis et qui nous sommes tous.»

This human tower is composed of 64 brightly coloured and interrelated archetypal figures. The galvanized steel plates are riveted to each other, much like the pixels of our digital age, symbols of universal interconnectedness. For the artist, this organic, modular structure connotes an ongoing process of construction and learning: “We are all constantly in a process of connecting together to build our world ...Humans use structures to build.”
