Firing confetti from a canon over an unsuspecting audience, suspending a Romany caravan in mid-air, or programming a small platoon of air compressors to blow party whistles are to name a few of the works Lara Favaretto has produced that have a sense of surprise or mystery, often with an underlying sense of unease.
Here Claire Doherty, Director of Situations speaks on behalf of Lara Favaretto about Without earth under foot, a remarkable and distinct new sight for the Marine Lake, Weston-super-Mare. Playing with the duration of a permanent artwork, Favaretto has intervened within the existing landscape of Marine Lake to produce an artwork which generates its own internal day and night; the scattering of phosphorescent material creating a sense of a constellation or ‘milky way’ as if the night sky is reflected along the causeway itself.
