These collaborative works by Goda Palekaitė and Marija Puipaitė introduce the Four Humours theory, which was the most wide-spread medical theory up until the 19th century. Based on Ancient Egyptian wisdom and systematised by Hippocrates and Galen, humorism claims that a human body consists of four humours, or vital bodily fluids: blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile. The balance of these determines our physical and mental health; our tendencies and character (the character types being sanguine, phlegmatic, choleric and melancholic accordingly); whether we are of cold or hot, dry or wet temper; and whether we are closer to earth, water, air or fire. The four elements are also directly connected to star constellations.
In these sculptures, glass shapes of the human organs responsible for producing the humours (heart, lung, pancreas and spleen) meet the legs of a pseudo-historical chair to form Venetian Renaissance street torches. With Four Humours, the artists propose to see this pre-modern science as an enlightened, holistic approach towards which contemporary medicine is gravitating again: recognizing our body through different perspectives, when our nutrition, habits, psychology, material and cosmic environment all form an interconnected system.
Produced with the assistance of Paloma Bouhana, Jesse Magee and Lina Šuminaitė.
