Exhibition of Excess
This design proposed an alteration of a Brighton Beach bathing box. This box would be a space of work and rest for the artist Erwin Wurm. As part of the brief, the design was then to be altered to house an animal, in this case, a number of cane toads.
The space plays off the themes of growth and excess featured in the works of Erwin Wurm. The inclusion of Cane Toads also highlights these themes as the species has had a destructive population growth in Australia.
