Jac Leirner Corpus Delicti (Cloud), 1985-2018
Luggage tags and brass
87 x ø 136 cm
For Corpus Delicti Leirner collected the luggage tags from her many airplane trips, she then ordered the strips and attached them to a brass structure. The work is suspended from the ceiling, and reads as a nod to Alexander Calder who, in the early 1930s, created the mobile, a type of sculpture that is formed of delicate components which are suspended in the air and move in response to air currents or motor power.
