You might have seen Swedish artist Sylvie Fleury’s (b. 1961) “Poison” shopping bags or her work with high heels. She mainly explores the relationship between art and fashion, but this work stands out. Most of the rockets she created were made starting 1992 to 1999.
“Some kind of heaven” at the South London Gallery (July 1997) included an installation by Sylvie Fleury from Switzerland called “First spaceship on Venus”, consisting of three large rockets (about 15 feet tall) covered in brown fake fur and emitting electronic noises. Disconaut AAA have previously advocated the use of fun fur and sequin space suits to counter the masculinist bias of space exploration, so we were very interested in the suggestion of applying this technique to the spaceship itself. Certainly this would make them more tactile and less starkly functional, as well as undermining the rocket=phallus fantasy. (via)
