Fideicommissum (sculpture)

[yellow_fever_01]

From Wikipedia:

Fideicommissum is a bronze cast of the artist [Ann-Sofi Sidén] herself squatting down to urinate. The artwork functions as a fountain and makes reference to the fountain motifs of young males urinating. Sidén conceived the idea for the sculpture in 1999 during a visit to the Wanås Sculpture Park, when she was working on a film and had to retire to the bushes to relieve herself. According to the artist, the urinating narrative echoes to a primitive way to mark a territory.
