Nina Beier
Women & Children
Nina Beier (b. 1975, Aarhus, Denmark) lives and works in Berlin, Germany. Women & Children is a fountain composed of found bronze sculptures of women and children, ranging from classical to contemporary, depicted in the nude as in historical convention. The sculptures’ cascading, cartoonish tears reference the Fountain of Vision at the Bom Jesus do Monte sanctuary in Portugal, and point to the weakness and excess emotion projected onto women and children as subjects.
