VAC PAC FISH
Individual life cast sardines from Billingsgate fish market (LDN) cast in aluminum in Eindhoven (NL), vacuum packed at La Boqueria (BCN) and sold like hot cakes on the streets of Milan (IT). Truly a European project.
I love taking something very perishable and immortalizing it into something that will last and have value.
