Cloaca by Belgian Wim Delvoye. Cloaca No. 5 is a mechanized sculpture that reproduces the human digestive system in every stomach-churning detail. At the end of the pipe, the machine produces feces, which are vacuum-packed! Wow, a machine just produces feces, Cool?! It is a part of exhibition which opens until valentine's day in the universite du quebec's art, Montreal. Cloaca, a towering steel, rubber and glass contraption, is fed twice a day with cafeteria leftovers during this exhibit.
"I wanted to make something that is absurdly unnecessary..."
Wim Delvoye explained his creative process:
"I don't think this biologically correct machine belongs in a science museum.
I don't have that ego. I'm not helping sick people. I'm practically useless in society." |
