Thin Man is one of the Atelier Van Lieshout’s sculptures that reflects upon our extremely advanced and complex society in which over-consumption and limited raw materials play a crucial role. Once supplies are exhausted society will see a harshening of relations between people and increased survival instinct which raises the question whether such radical changes, which are coupled with violence but which may also lead to a new improved society, are good or bad.
