Het toekomstige hart van barmhartigheid voor mannen en vrouwen,2008

The heart:

The future merciful heart for men and women, 2008

Fabre creates a poetic installation, using 3,000 human bones and 10 skulls
made out of Murano glass to create two altars facing each other. Some of
the skulls and bones are painted with BIC-blue ballpoint ink, which makes
reference to the baths in the shelter-atelier. The color blue represents the
hour blue, the mystical moment of the day when nocturnal animals go to
sleep and diurnal animals wake up. On the one altar/sarcophagus, Fabre
presents a male heart, which is closed. On the other, we find a slightly
smaller and more elegant female heart, which is open. These hearts are made out of a mosaic of human bones and represent a model of the future heart of mankind: a merciful heart that cannot bleed.
