DARK MATTER/ 1001 CLAMPS/ ANTHILL

Object, 2014


Steel, 1001 clamps. 155x212x105 cm

In the artwork "DARK MATTER/ 1001 CLAMPS/ ANTHILL" the artists create a metaphor for social life: an ideal structure of a hierarchical insect dwelling, enlarged in scale—a towering anthill built from 100 metal clamps viciously gripping one another. A tribute to nature’s constructivism and the ruthless dynamics of society.
