Wim Delvoye - Cloaca quattro « machine à caca »

Wim Delvoye, very highly rated plastic artist was born in 1965, Belgium. His shocking and provocative works make headlines among art experts and the media. His predilection for tattooed pigs and excrement can be found in this sculpture object "cloaca quattro" (2004): excrement machine reproducing the process of digestion, on display, at the Tinguely Museum (photo). Derision and popularisation for this box of miniature objects like children's toys, masking the provocative character of the subject "poop machine". Ken's lookalike (Barbie's companion) and the tattooed pig appear to be from Walt Disney (Snow White and the artist's signature in Disney's calligraphy). Wim Delvoye hijacks codes and transposes them into his scatological imagination. Wooden frame with glass to protect the original cardboard and allow hanging.
