Taxidermy * LONDON * Incisions into Urban Flesh




Anto Lloveras’s Taxidermy: The City Is an Animal (5th Base Gallery, East London, 2015) stages the metropolis as a sentient, wounded organism subjected to ritualised acts of incision, extraction, and preservation. Situated within the broader Socioplastics and Unstable Installation Series, the exhibition proposes an expanded field of sculpture in which urban detritus, infrastructural residues, and minor objects operate as anatomical fragments of a living city-body.
