The Artistic Power of Chairs
Chairs are often used in art to symbolize community, absence, and memory. In the context of war, chairs can be used to represent the victims of conflict.
Doris Salcedo’s art installation “Stack of Chairs” in Istanbul is a powerful example of how chairs can be used to represent the victims of war.
Doris stacked 1,550 chairs in the middle of two structures to represent the war victims of all conflicts. The installation is a stark reminder of the human cost of war.
Another artist who has used chairs to represent the victims of war is Ai Weiwei, in his artwork “Fairytale.”
