About this artwork
Escalator is part of the Brave New World series.
We find ourselves on an escalator (probably Kings Cross) of the London Underground 2019.
The crowd is efficiently managed through stretched traffic spaces, platforms and levels.

It’s easy to get lost along the way.
The… queued and static passengers are transported on a perpetual stairway. One stairway goes to heaven and another to middle earth, just like Dante's Divine comedy.
This whole scenery makes me somehow associate it with an industrial assembly line, an assembly line of dolls. Plain little plastic torsos are waiting to meet its body parts somewhere along the line. Heads, arms, legs, hair and eyes are screwed and clued on systematically and finally its naked shame is covered....Read all @https://www.maritotto.nl/2021/12/24/escalator-2021/

« To me, innovation is not a purpose in itself but the result of progressive insight and the need to stretch and push my own boundaries. »
Marit Otto is a multi-disciplinary Dutch artist whose work has been exhibited in Netherlands, China and Vietnam. Implementing a range of materials from graphic to plastic, she portrays human nature in its sobriety - stripped of pretence, with particular focus on the human body in all its shapes, forms and behavioral aspects.
