About the Item

High relief 3D steel wall sculpture by Frederic Daty ABOUT THE WORK - Robotization and artificial intelligence are the beginnings of the era of beings of steel, silicone and microchips. Everything contributes to the near future seeing the advent of these fantasies called androids. Los Angeles is the epicenter with these companies working in the field of trans-humanism. And what if this fantasy of the android had long been rooted in us? A being created according to our wishes, responding to our desires and realizing what we cannot do for ourselves... Isn't this a lifelong dream? Daty wanted to symbolize and popularize this android fantasy with an Angeleno icon who is familiar to us: Marilyn Monroe. The life of this star cannot leave anyone indifferent, whether we like this character or not. The double personality of Norma Jean who transforms into Marilyn to hide and to escape her fragile mental and social condition... Don't we all experience it to varying degree? Becoming a star has completed her desire for perfection until annihilation in the face of cruel reality... Perfection does not exist. What if Marilyn was this android that Norma Jeane had created to live in her place? And if these beings thinking in our place really saw the light of day, would they be able to confront us with our imperfections? Would we be able to assume this reality? The answer may be in the double gaze of this sculpture... ABOUT THE ARTIST - In a world with increasingly marked divisions between living standards, social classes and physical appearance, Los Angeles is perhaps one of the cities in North America that most characterizes this specificity. The city is centered on very marked and increasingly visible dualities: Luxury and poverty that coexist, dreams of success and quickly broken careers. Los Angeles is the city of all fantasies but also the life of lost illusions. In this evolving collection, Daty expresses these dualities that make up the grandeur and the decadence of a city as fascinating as it is mysterious, a city as attractive as it is impenetrable; landmarks known throughout the world, but a population that hides behind the walls of villas and the smoked windows of countless vehicles.

The bunny exudes an air of enjoyment amidst the attention, transforming the narrative into one of empowerment rather than marginalization. The artist has also recently received some media attention, with “Bunny Girl...
