ln this sculpture, the interaction between nature, technology and politics allows Arunanondchai to question the consequences of our present actions on future generations.

Korakrit Arunanondchai has created a clay model with a dilapidated aspect of the UN headquarters modernist building in New York. Encapsulated in a Plexiglas cube and bathed in green light, the model seems about to collapse under the weight of a giant fish and a tangle of dried plants, glass shapes and cables. This institution, committed to maintaining peace in the world, seems to be engulfed by a wild and anarchic nature that has regained its rights.
