The installation by Dewar & Gicquel consists of a series of sculptures that echoes the park, its proximity to the lake, and its visitors. A dialogue is established among a pair of legs, a shell, a faucet, a flipper, an intestinal system, and a bidet. The chalky contents of the lake shell refer to the clay bidet. The bidet, for its part, answers to the needs of the body, whose digestive system resembles plumbing and sanitary systems. Through the flow of water, these elements wash ashore on a beach, transit through our body, or turn humans into amphibians during a dip in the lake. These associations, at once functional and whimsical, are expressed with an embodied eroticism.
