Lost Heritage
With every limb there is detachment. Cut.
Cut-open limbs with silicone arteries stretched through their hollowed shells. Slimy surfaces of never-sweating bodies. Programmed biological efficiency, exact as a mission with military precision. Micro-beginnings of species outside of nature. Human-created-designed-programmed organisms crawl out sterile laboratories.
With every limb there is detachment.
That pink of your prosthetic teeth is most attractive.
*** Materials:
Studio-grown Global Grass, coated waterproof plywood, wheels, plaster, resin, silicone, tripod, LED lamp
Plastic container, edible Icing Color (Rose), hydrant system, Cristallo Extra hose pipe, water pump, R-Duino microcontroller
