Gravely modified organisms
Gene engineering is a technique which makes possible the modification of living organisms by adding a gene of another organism in order to improve their performance. That’s crazy don’t you think..
Here you will see ironic representations of modified seeds. First, seeds which incorporate old tools, beautiful tools which were used long ago. This hybridization symbolizes man’s changes to plants over the many centuries of agriculture.
Other sculptures bring out a more prosaic side of these modifications.
