Muut tiedot
For a group show at the Wanås Foundation in Scania southern Sweden, Sidén made a bronze, self-portrait, fountain sculpture, "Fideicommissum" (2000). The sculpture is squatting on the grass and urinating. It makes reference to the fountain motifs of young males urinating for example the Manneken Pis in Brussels. Sidén came up with the idea for the sculpture in 1999 during a visit to Wanås, when she was working on a film and had to retire to the bushes to relieve herself.
The title refers to the institution of Fideicommissum in Sweden, where the first-born son inherits the family estate in the aristocratic class. The Wanås sculpture park is situated on the grounds of a 15th-century castle, where this practice was in place for hundreds of years.
There is also a version of the sculpture in Ekebergparken Sculpture Park in Oslo, Norway.
