Flora / Fauna | Galerie Perrotin
Galerie Perrotin worked with Laila to design the opening dinner for artist Johan Creten’s NY show, God is a Stranger. “The artist uses ceramics to create reliefs, either classical female busts with a pastillage of rose petals, fruits or seaweed. All kinds of metonymies come subtly into play, so as to evoke the woman through her perfume, the perfume through the flower and, lastly, the sex through the thousands of vulvar excrescences enshrouding her body.” The food was designed with the work as a guiding light.
