Thanks for posting profiterol!
Because of the two colors of the sculptures , I thought to this Constantin Brancusi's ones, "Mademoiselle Pogany". (Musée Beaubourg/Centre Pompidou , Paris)

Very hungry god, Subodh Gupta

"Subodh Gupta’s 1000 kilosculpture, Very Hungry God, is made out of aluminum pots and pans and it first apparated last fall in Paris in the Eglise Saint-Bernard church during Nuit Blanche. It was on show in Venice as part of an exhibition of Francois Pinault’s collection. Gupta explains the forces that motivated him to craft this symbol of death out of objects that are used to sustain life:
'The piece in Venice, “Very Hungry God”, was made in 2006 for the annual all-night festival in Paris. My work was conceived to be shown in a church in Barbes on the outskirts of Paris which is largely inhabited by an immigrant population.
I made the work in response to the stories I read in the news about how soup kitchens in Paris were serving food with pork so that Muslims would not eat it. It was a strange and twisted form of charity that did not continue for long but raised conflicting ideas of giving and the way we have become now.
Outside the church I served vegetarian daal soup as a form of “prasad” (in India when you go to a temple or a guduwara you are offered food with the blessing). I liked the mix of the Catholic church and my intervention using a symbol that many artists have used before - the skull - and its many connotations.' "
