Yong Ho Ji
Korean artist Yong Ho Ji creates life-size sculptures of animals and predators from discarded automobile tires. Sometimes his sculptures take the form of mutant combinations of humans and animals. The tires function as a metaphor for musculature - less of a commentary on recycling or consumerism than on aggression and genetic or evolutionary mutations. The conceptual combination of hunting trophies with rise in genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) makes the viewer question the future of known life-forms.
