Brian Jungen is known for taking mass-produced objects – from monobloc plastic chairs to hockey equipment – and transforming them into large scale works which explore his native culture in the context of today’s contemporary consumerist society and state of globalization. The Canadian artist’s sculptural installation “Carapace” draws its form directly from its name. the ‘turtle shell‘ is composed of numerous industrial waste and recycling bins that create a domed shelter which individuals are invited to enter and experience from within.
