Insect Farm

Aluminium
690 cm x 300 cm x 270 cm

Insect Farm (2012) is a sleek modernist sculpture and a component of a high tech model of a futuristic farm reconnecting with its primitive nature. It is designed to breed insects for consumption, as a high protein and low carbon footprint food alternative, one that is already consumed by the majority of the non-western world. The project is both utopian and pragmatic, seeking a solution for feeding the increasing world population. It is part of the artist’s New Tribal Labyrinth series, connecting the past, present and future, and man and machine with basic materials of life.

Insect Farm (2012) was part of the following exhibition(s):
‘Future Fictions’, Z33, Hasselt (BE), 2014 – 2015
