In her new work, Kunst-Werke, 2010 (Cabeça e cauda de cavalo), Lucas made two interventions at the KW Institute for Contemporary Art, in Berlin. In the first, she relocates the pavement and in the second, she makes a circular cut in the floor. The positioning of the pavement and of the doorsill at the front of the central courtyard has been adjusted by 7.5 percent (see images). Inside the exhibition space, she has cut a second circle into the floor, which is split in half by the position of the wall. This floor then becomes a circular revolving surface on which visitors are able to walk between the interior and the exterior. Territories are crossed (see images).
Even though her construction process can sometimes present considerable practical difficulties, her interventions show a considerable degree of subtlety. She says of her work that she turns the background into a protagonist; that she splits the world into two sets ‘…nature is the given thing: the landscape, the architectural, urban setting of the place at hand; this is where I intervene. Fiction is my intervention…’
