Belgium born artist Wim Delvoye… Wow, I love this guy.
I really dig his series of X rated X Rays, showing two of his friends getting intimate leaving nothing unseen. He also has some very fascinating artworks created from bird houses.
Also of interest is this fascinating article in Time Europe on his latest artwork called, Cloaca, which Wim describes as a “highly pungent comment on the folly of human achievement.”. It is in fact, a poo machine. It gets ‘fed’ a solid meal twice a day, which the machine then processes through a series of tubes, beakers, and added digestive juices and finally produces the remaining solids on a revolving plate… Alright, it’s definitely not all that sexy, in fact its a bit gross and definitely bizzare, but the sheer mechanics of it are fascinating.
