The human body is beautiful! This is one of the masterpieces of nature. And it is beautiful not only from the outside, but also from the inside. This is what Dutch artist Joep van Lieshout thinks. He creates huge functional installations in the form of human organs.
Each of these extraordinary installations by Van Leshut is meaningful and functional. For example, an installation in the form of a digestive tract serves as a bar at the same time, which is very symbolic. The interior of this bar is the stomach. And the exit from it, of course, is made where the anus should be.
Bikinibar by Joep Van Leshut is located on the banks of one of the canals in Rotterdam. This bar is made in the form of a female body, dressed in a bikini. As Van Leshut himself jokes, Bikinibar is the only female body that can be entered without asking.
Well, a huge purple sperm, located in one of the squares of Rotterdam, was once a small street cafe, and now it is a tourist office. Here you can get free brochures about the city of Rotterdam, its maps in different languages. Such an unusual handicap of the structure reveals the ideas of Darwinism. The strongest survives. Be it a sperm, be it a man in the stone jungle of a metropolis.
