Commissioned for the 7th edition of the Biennale Gherdëina, an international exhibition of contemporary art, MacLeod creates a new work entitled Fallen, which consists of a larger than life sculpture, depicting the biblical Adam and Eve. Inspired by a miniature historical sculpture from the collection of the Gherdëina Museum in Ortisei, Fallen, consists of two wooden figures turned toward one another with a pile of fallen apples at their feet.

The work plays on the different meanings of the word fallen and is MacLeod’s ironic take on the biblical myth of world-making. Lost and hopeless in a tree-less paradise, Adam and Eve appear almost grotesque.
