The three monkeys from the sculpture group “A & E Monkey” have taken a seat on a wall. Their natural take-over of the place makes them seem disarming and playful. But the title of the sculpture chosen by the British artist Laura Ford opens up a deeper interpretation. “A & E” is the abbreviation for “Accident & Emergency Department”. As patients of the accident and emergency department, which is used to provide medical care to people, the three animals present external injuries and pain. The first has a plaster cast on his leg. His neighbor has his legs pulled to the body and presses a bandage to the tilted, apparently painful head. And the third monkey carries its broken arm in a sling. Each shows an individual sitting posture that suggests serenity, relaxed waiting, but also tension, resignation and pain.
