Sculptures and Installations

SI-LA-GI’s sculptures and installations are marked by their use of unconventional materials, in rare cases even including human blood and mother’s milk. Notable among these is a seven-meter installation on a lake, which utilizes various elements to create a dynamic and ever-changing visual form. The artist also recontextualizes everyday objects, giving them new meaning and encouraging viewers to see the familiar in a different light.

Editor's Note: Over the course of his six-decade career, SI-LA-GI created thousands of artworks, and only a very small selection is displayed in this album.

"Last Supper (Detail) [Utolsó vacsora - részlet]" Medium: Silkscreen, glasses, wine, clothes Dimensions: 80 x 926 x 25 cm Year: 1995 In this immersive installation, SI-LA-GI reinterprets Leonardo da Vinci's iconic "Last Supper" by focusing on the table and its symbolic elements. By offering real wine and bread for participants to consume, the artist invites viewers to become active participants in the artwork, blurring the boundaries between art and life. This interactive experience transforms the traditional, static representation into a shared, meditative moment, encouraging reflection on the themes of communion, nourishment, and the sacred within the everyday. At the same time, it provides an opportunity for contemplation, inviting us to think and feel what it would be like if this were our last meal.
