Alisa Baremboym’s sculpture is part of the Monuments from the Future episode. It is made from the same type of perforated sheet metal used to shutter the doors and windows of empty terraced houses in the area. The metal surrounds and weaves through organic forms made of ceramic and tinted concrete. A native grass is planted around the sculpture, and slowly grows through the holes in the steel. This hybrid object, somewhere between organic and synthetic, points towards the tension between the body and its environment.
