Arschmänner

2004

Fiberglass, plastic
400 x 350 x 55 cm

Man as a miniscule cog in the machine. Only expected to consume and excrete. The Arschmänner are part of The Technocrat, a circular system that reduces man to a digestive tract. Alcohol and food go in, waste comes out and is turned into biogas, which — in turn — is used to cook and distil alcohol.
