Tracey Rose
Title: Lucie's Fur : The Prelude
Production year: 2003
Media: single channel DVD, edition of 4

Statement:
The Prelude (as extracted from Espacios Mestizos - Hybrid Spaces catalogue ; Osorio 2003; Page 44)
"The artist's visit to the 'Hybrid Spaces' involved both a performance and video piece which featured different metaphors about the origin of humanity. One of these is a Christian myth of the expulsion of Lucifer from Heaven, after which, according to some, his fall to earth produced the Big Bang that is the origin of the universe, resulting in the creation and evolution of humankind... This Christian approach is liked to humans' direct descent from the Khoi San peoples, where the cradle of humanity is situated... In her performance, playing the role of Eve, the artist riffs on the widespread idea of woman's contribution to the destruction of humanity. Rose filmed a video at Osorio Park, using as her settings some of the spot's most special, resonant areas, establishing a simile between elements from the classic film 'The Wizard of Oz' and questions regarding the origins of God and man."
