Paradise

 

Installation is a model of consumerist paradise, where everyone is busy consumption of various goods, material resources, as well as each other.
Paradise - simple model is almost perfect fauna, with its 2-3 step hierarchy in which each species meets their needs. Some do it at the expense of another species, thereby disrupting its ideal conditions of existence.

This work – a reflection on modern historical events. 

 

Installation is a glass tube (diameter about 10-13 cm, length approx 180 cm.), mounted horizontally on a wall (at the level of the viewer's eye), which is placed next flora and fauna: orchids (3-5 pcs in plastic containers), spider- tarantula (1 pcs.), different kinds of crickets (30-40 pcs), different species of cockroaches (30-40 Gt), mealworms (20 -30 units), crackling Madagascar cockroaches (3-4 pcs), ground.
