Duck Lamp
Rescued from the trash can of an old taxidermy museum, a taxidermy bird with a broken neck is given a new life and is reconstructed to become an iconic classic. The Duck Lamp explores the border between the sculptural and functional qualities of both art and design. Sebastian Errazuriz explains his experience during the creative process:
“I was actually afraid of the public’s reaction when I first presented the Duck Lamp. Taxidermy wasn’t a trend yet and I didn’t want to be considered a freak, but felt compelled to make it. Somehow it made sense to me and to my surprise when I presented it in a gallery, it seemed to make some weird, unconscious, fucked up sense to other people too. It apparently felt familiar, beautiful, terrible, and funny at the same time.”
With this Chicken Lamp, after his first Duck Lamp, Errazuriz’z continues exploring the border between the sculptural and functional qualities of both art and design.
