Tate Modern 2



 Title of art piece: Diabolo 1950, cast 1994

Artist: Germaine Richier 

Artist rationale:

Materials made of: Bronze

Themes of the piece: Entrapment, Escape, Evil

Why it inspires you: I found this piece intriguing as immediately i found this quite dark side to it. Not only is the woman caught up in metal wires but Diablo translates in Spanish to 'Devil'. 

Potential ideas for theatrical work: I really like the use of the wires looking as if they need to be there for structure, but actually there is an underlying reason, and they are there to represent entrapment. I really like the concept that something looks as if it must be there, but really its playing a completely different role. I think that concept could work on many different levels in theatrical work. People, emotions etc.
