Jerzy Fober, Those who have eyes, let them listen, 2009. The sculpture depicts a reclining, faceless human figure. The figure rests on a massive base resembling a hollowed-out tree trunk, one side of which has been reinforced with vertical structural elements. The rawness of the wood is contrasted here with white polychrome and gilding visible inside the trunk. The surface of the silhouette has been worked with numerous shallow incisions – particularly evident on the chest and abdomen – which contrast with the smooth, shiny areas covered with white primer. The artist compares the trunk to a tabernacle and the arrangement of the body to depictions of the Pietà or the Entombment. Here, material and form combine to create a tense, symbolic representation of mystery.
