“…In the meanwhile, baby is coming, I’m living…” is an installation artwork created by Ernesto Neto in 2003. Rooted in the Post-Minimalism art movement, this piece exemplifies the genre of installation.
The artwork presents an environment that is both organic and surreal. Soft, pastel-colored fabrics are stretched and suspended from the ceiling and walls, creating a floating, womb-like structure. The materials form bulbous shapes and elongated droops that evoke a sense of fluidity and transformation. The interplay of light and shadow accentuates the delicate textures and contours of the installation, inviting viewers to contemplate the themes of birth and existence encapsulated within its ephemeral form. The sculpture’s form and space engage the audience in an intimate, almost tactile experience, harmoniously blending the boundaries of art and life.
