Modem swamp



Modem Swamp is an 8-meter sculpture in the form of a female figure, which was presented at a festival in Croatia in 2019. It depicts a man holding a mask away from his face, and behind it is a real wild jungle. At night, the projection mapping of the figure makes you think it was made of chrome! But no, the materials the sculptor used to create it were steel, fiberglass and concrete.
