Aluminum cans of beer
170 x 7 cm
In his work, Philippe Hernández introduces subjects such as productivity, efficiency, leisure, and humor. He uses the strategies of the ready-made and performance to create unusual and even uncomfortable situations that question our relationship to art and its canon. This work is a fragile vertical structure using cans of beer of the brand Modelo, alluding to the vulnerable body of the nude model that poses and also to the stone sculptures that we consider the epitome of beauty.
