The artwork titled “Life Raft (Zurich)” was created by artist Mark Dion in the year 1995. This piece is part of the Neo-Dada art movement and falls under the genre of installation art.
The artwork portrays a lifelike scene atop a modular platform supported by red drums, simulating a raft. On this platform, there is a small doghouse, mimicking a wooden structure with a pitched roof, surrounded by various natural elements including trees, branches, and underbrush. Atop these various elements sits a lifelike bird, adding to the ecological theme of the piece. The entire composition evokes a sense of survival and adaptability in nature, consistent with the themes prevalent in Neo-Dada installations, blending reality with artistic interpretation to challenge conventional perceptions.
