Abstract

This investigation recognises the identity of the fridge as a symbolic object in the contemporary life through the work of artists and architects from different means and moments of the 20th and 21th century. The discussed works move from food voyeurism to the mutability of this appliance into a construction element, demonstratic its enigmatic nature. Considering an esthetic value in this device, which was originated as functional, the quantity of works of art featured by it manifests an intimate connection between our digestive tract and the machine.
Esta indagación reconoce la identidad del frigorífico como objeto simbólico en la vida contemporánea a través del trabajo de artistas y arquitectos de distintos medios y momentos de los siglos XX y XXI. Las obras comentadas viajan del voyerismo alimentario a la mutabilidad del electrodoméstico en elemento constructivo, poniendo en evidencia la naturaleza enigmática del mismo. Contemplando un valor estético en el aparato originado como utilitario, la cantidad de obras protagonizadas por él manifiestan una relación íntima entre nuestro aparato digestivo y la máquina.
