While Koen Vanmechelen is mostly famous for his cross-breeding project with chickens, the central theme of his work is #biocultural #diversity. A second important part of is oeuvre centres around #camelids - in this video the artist explains why.

Bio-Care was presented in MOCAD, Detroit in 2014

Installation view of Modified Spaces, Koen Vanmechelen's installation at the Triennial of Guangzhou (CN), 2011.

"The visitor is drawn into a cage where he is provided with a mouth mask and has to walk through a disinfectant footbath. He must be germfree to walk between the tropical plants and the primal chickens. He is exploring the narrow path between domestication and the wild; he is immersed in a proto-Human world. Call it the outdoors of perception. A world in which man and chicken had not yet evolved together.” - Koen Vanmechelen

For Darwin's Dream a similar 'jungle room' will be constructed in the Crypt Gallery of the St Pancras Church
