Utopic parasites @ the Barbican
Sci-fi addict? This is so for you: Bock’s surreal bugs.
Or are those aliens? Giant spiders escaped from Matrix? Eccentric parasites from Moebius? Nomad shops from the 5th Element?
Each pod shelters an ecclectic universes of its own. Here an Asian bazaar, lanterns, chopsticks, Chinese noodles. There, the back room of a charity shop, each scale offering a shirt. Over there, a giant version of 4 fixed on a black cab chassis… Everything is mixed: a collection of clocks, kitchen tools, CDs, kitsch glasses…
Entry is free, and the atmosphere joyful. The only risk is to have your kids compare their chaotic bedroom to a work of art!
