For two years Gober worked exclusively on this project. The installation’s central component is a life-size figure of the Virgin Mary. Standing in the middle of the installation, atop a sewer grate, she is pierced by a giant culvert pipe. In the back, rushing water cascades down a staircase into another grate. To the left and the right of the Virgin Mary are two suitcases into which two other grates have been built offering viewers glimpses of a pristine subterranean tide pool and the enigmatic legs of a man holding a diapered baby. The installation is a disquieting reflection on Catholicism, gender, birth, and the metaphorical ambiguity of water. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Robert Gober","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55729379541377,"sku":null,"price":70.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7613\/files\/cdr_466copy.jpg?v=1781023221","url":"https:\/\/www.clairederouenbooks.com\/products\/robert-gober-moca","provider":"Claire de Rouen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
