Using 144 strips of glass confined in a cube, Medicus reproduced images of lynx, bee, kingfisher, and river trout. All these animals are affected by the lack of care for the environment and ongoing climate change. They are in danger of losing their habitat and getting closer to extinction if humans don’t change their approach.

Human Animal Binary is currently displayed in Innsbruck, an Austrian mountain city that also serves as the capital of Tyrol. It will remain there for the next 12 months. The artist is also preparing a film about the project that will share more details about the process of creating the sculpture and the goal it aims to achieve.

“Human/Animal Binary was designed to last. One day the installation will stand in a different social context: as a memorial that has come true or as a relic of a time that has been overcome,” the artist explains.

If you can’t make it to Innsbruck, see what makes this  “Human Animal Binary” special in the video below.

“The piece is placed on a rotating platform through which four fragmented images assemble every 90° turn. The glass strips are stuck into a wooden base with laser cut slits. All fragments of the images were painted separately on each strip with the same colors used for traditional stained glass windows,” according to the artist’s website.

His latest masterpiece presents different perspective of a human head, showcasing some thoughts and viewpoints that are inside our brain. In Head Instructor, the Austria-based artist wanted to show that the way you see things will always depend on your perspective and the method you use. Some aspects will always remain unseen when you only approach from one side.
