Our lost mind finding a heart in dutty water. 2007
Mixed media

Some of the bulbs almost touch the floor, which is soaked by water leaking out of hoses through holes plugged with high-heeled shoes. ... Mutu’s work speaks of the instant danger that could result, behind the curtain: the loving contact between water and electricity, between the female symbol of the high heel and the nakedness of the electrical wires.
