Traces

Caitlin Berrigan

2009
8" x 8" x 4"
Artist’s hands cast in powder-coated aluminum & artist’s kidney cast in frozen spit from a 3D

Traces is a renewable sculpture of the artist’s own disembodied kidney, cast in frozen spit. Every two hours a new frozen organ is put on display, only to melt and drip away. The artist carefully traced the topography of her internal organ from a 3D MRI in order to materialize its form outside of her body. Traces is a poetic deterritorialization of medical biotechnologies, organs without bodies and fleshy displacements.
