2008-2009
Throughout the history of humankind, people have often resorted to divination systems that can forecast their destinies. One of the most commonly used is the Chinese Horoscope; in it, the personality of each subject is associated with an animal that represents them, depending on the year of their birth.
These categories are expected to illuminate the nature of each individual, as well as their compatibility with other people in terms of social, interpersonal, or romantic relationships. This installation represents the creation of the Chinese Horoscope animal figurines for people who order one that corresponds to them. The customers need to contribute just one of two materials for its elaboration: a small portion of their own excrement.
