High heels plinth

Material: Fiberglass

Three plastic sculptures develop from the footprints of high heels, following the course of the mould, and enable an award ceremony to be held in the exhibition space. The performance for which the winners are honoured on their pedestals remains unknown. On these sculptures, standing on high heels becomes a discipline specific to women, climbing the platforms a daring endeavour in the sense of the demand: faster, higher, further. A preliminary performance according to Olympic regulations is obviously not necessary, the motto is: being there is everything. As the plateaus do not allow the feet to move or weight to be shifted, the winning pose seems frozen in a rather masculine posture. The floor seems to stick to the soles and stretches upwards like chewing gum. However, the ‘winner's platform’ also creates long legs and a narrow foot, as long as you keep your back straight and continue to breathe carefully.
The black high heels platform, on the other hand, appears to be an exaggerated version that nobody can or wants to climb.
The pool table is pure fun. A to B: ‘What's that good for’? B to A: ‘Put a glass top on it, then it's a table’. No sooner said than done.
