Philadelpia zoo uses the services of LEGO sculptor, Sean Kenney, to promomte awareness of endangered species, affected by pollution and climate change.
Zoo visitors watch an epocalyptic view of a dreadfully possible future zoo, where models of extinct animals are displayed instead of their living counterparts due to pollution and climate change effect on their natural environment.
The use of animal sculptures in a semi-natural environment is an interesting concept. The zoo itself is a man-made fabrication of nature, which is the only connection to nature for many city dwelling people.
Sean and his team of assistants had worked on this exhibition, named "HABITAT" & commisioned by the Philadelphia zoo, for months. It is on display April 10th - October 31st, 2010.
ReCycle By Ossy has recently published a new art work: In Coke We Trust - A 4' tall portrait of US President Barack Obama made of 1600 recycled bottle caps. Pay us a visit and tell us what you think.
