Grinder

2009

Fiberglass
200 x 200 x 175 cm

The Grinder is an installation from ‘Cradle to Cradle’ (2009), a series of works which is based on the concept that waste is food. This principle is taken to the extreme in AVL’s installation, a machine built to recycle people. In a model of efficiency, the organs are used for transplants, while the flesh, fluids, fat and bones are processed into meat in this grinder. The remainder is used to harvest energy. Atelier van Lieshout offers an extremely provocative answer to the world’s problems of overpopulation and depleted energy supplies

Grinder (2009) was part of the following exhibition(s):
‘Roof Installation’, ROOF-A, Rotterdam (NL), 2021
‘Infernopolis’, Submarinewharf, Rotterdam (NL), 2010
