Artist Statement:
EDEN AGAIN allows people to experience themselves as “living machines” – inseparable parts of the Machine Wilderness – using the waste from their bodies to create an Edenic, ecologically balanced space. The project is a public Water Closet sculpture sustaining reed species, mimicking Iraq marshland vegetation mulched with recycled glass. Subsurface, the plants’ roots filter the effluent.
