The latest installation on London’s Trafalgar Square Fourth Plinth highlights 850 plaster casts of transgender and non-binary individuals, emphasizing visibility for marginalized communities.
Teresa Margolles, the artist behind '850 Improntas,' utilizes plaster casts from models, infusing the work with their hair and skin cells to emphasize personal narratives.
Margolles states that the installation acknowledges a community that is often overlooked, similar to the experiences of marginalized individuals in Mexico and globally.
The arrangement of the casts mimics a tzompantli, drawing parallels between historical displays of human remains and contemporary social issues faced by the marginalized.
