ELEANOR references the moment in September 1948 when Eleanor Roosevelt first presented the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) at the United Nation’s temporary home in Long Island. In that now iconic photo, the former First Lady displays a poster-sized copy of the signed and certified Declaration. One can almost hear the photographer shout “hold it” to freeze and capture the historic moment. This scale model bronze skeleton is positioned to reenact that scene as an indoor monument fit for time in which we are often called upon to enclose and isolate ourselves. The sculpture ELEANOR draws attention to our common inner humanity to underscore the impulse of the UDHR, while dispensing with the arbitrary and ephemeral—including the fragile materiality of the UDHR and the international consensus that framed its adoption. An ironic memento mori, ELEANOR challenges the very notion of that which endures.
