sebastian errazuriz: duck fan
'duck fan' by sebastian errazuriz
all images courtesy of sebastian errazuriz
currently on display at new york's cristina grajales gallery, 'duck fan' is a new sculpture from chilean-born artist and designer sebastian errazuriz.
this limited edition artwork features a taxidermied duck mounted in a diving position and facing a custom-designed industrial fan.
when the machine's propeller is turned on, the animal's small white feathers shiver from the resulting gust of wind.
'for a few seconds the viewer fears that the duck's delicate feathers are going to fly off completely,' says errazuriz.
'the duck's continuous silent resistance steals a smile and reminds the viewer that ducks fly against the wind every day.'

this project draws from the taxidermy work errazuriz started in 2002, with his popular 'duck lamp.'

I can´t understand it. hierfür fehlen mir die englischen Worte. Ich hab echt schon einigen scheiß gesehen der produziert wurde und dann unter dem Motto "design" verkauft wird aber das ist die Krönung von allem.
Wie respektlos und gewissenlos kann man den sein um soetwas zu produzieren. Ich schäme mich dafür!

If I was a duck I'd rather be part of a cool design piece than getting my liver stuffed until it explodes so a Parisian can spread it over some crackers

I know this was made in the US because in any other country they would just eat the duck
