The Production Kitchen

The Production Kitchen

Tilda Swinton's The Maybe - Who, What, Why Who? Tilda Swinton – as living art. When visiting MoMa, one might chance upon her asleep in a glass vitrine. In the past few weeks Swinton has slept in the museum’s main lobby, Rodin's monumental Balzác watching over her, in the half-light of Douglas Gordon's video installation "Play Dead" and on the Bauhaus staircase next to a Calder mobile. She lies bare-faced, in old, indistinct clothes and sneakers with clumps of mud stuck to the soles. What? Whilst Swinton has never discussed her experience of being inside the vitrine, she has spoken about the conception of the piece a number of times. "The performance can be read as a 'memento mori' – a performative monument to fragility, to our mortality and to collective mourning" Later, an email from Swinton to the author of the book provides some further insight. Why? Much has changed since 1995, including Swinton’s public profile; her fame now as much a material of the piece as the metal and glass that surrounds her. Text by Caroline Lever

Let us face facts: this is not going to happen. Where Is It All Going? What do you think?
