Australian artist Amanda Parer’s edgy and ephemeral artworks explore the natural world, its fragility, and our role within it. San Franciscans may remember Intrude, her collection of gigantic rabbits, which invaded Civic Center Plaza in 2016.
For Inflatable, Parer Studio will install two human figures from a larger piece called Fantastic Planet. Inspired by the 1973 animated classic of the same title, it depicts immense but benign humanoids from an alien planet, beginning to inspect humans and our environment. The piece encourages us to reconsider both our own size, and our outsized impact on the natural world.
