The French title A l’infini can mean ‘towards infinity’ or ‘into infinity’. Comprising sixteen large-scale sheets, this multi-part work draws together many of Bourgeois’s most significant themes and ideas to explore the cycles of life. Images of falling female bodies, disembodied limbs, as well as a couple and references to childbirth can all be found, along with texts that add commentary to these images. The arrangement of red spiralling lines can be read as rivers and canals, umbilical cords, or arteries and veins in the body. Together the imagery suggests the complex journey of human existence, a theme that lies at the heart of much of Bourgeois’s work.
