Friends

2011

Bronze
33 x 29 x 25 cm

Friends is part of the “New Tribal Labyrinth”-series. This series of works reflects on our extremely advanced and complex society, in which over-consumption and limited raw materials play a crucial role. In the near future, this contraposition will see an emergence of various new cultures. Once supplies are exhausted society will see a harshening of relations between people and an increase of their survival instinct. The question is whether such radical changes, which are coupled with violence but which may also lead to a new improved society, are good or bad.
Where groups of people start organizing themselves in tribes instead of countries and nationalities, a new tribal world order will occur. In the meantime AVL will create objects, installations and equipment for this imaginary tribe: monuments to be worshipped, cannibalistic sacrificial equipment, daily objects and designs.
