Make Hauser & Wirth’s inaugural outdoor sculpture installation ‘Hollow Bodies’ (2024) by Somerset-based artist Max Bainbridge is an examination and intervention into three sections of wind felled Scots Pine sourced from the Cairngorms in Braemar, Scotland, UK. The work speaks to the human condition and our need to protect ourselves in times of crisis; to don a metaphorical armour in the hope that our fragile and complex place within the natural world can persist and endure. Through the stripping of bark, casting of branches, burning of trunks and coatings of pine tar, Bainbridge explores what is imbibed and held within these trees throughout their lifetime. He looks to how their environment has shaped and changed them, and in doing so, reflects on our own place within the natural world, and its effects upon us.
