Programme 15: Myself and Others

Programme Outline

Louise Bourgeois’ work is often concerned with her own experience. She uses mirrors that not only create a sense of introspection, but also allow us to explore the work more thoroughly. They also allow us to look at ourselves, and to observe the behaviour of the other gallery visitors. Annette Messager gives us a different window onto the behaviour of other people, pointing out how the destructive games of children can be related to atrocities committed by adults.
