Cloaca is a large installation that turns food into feces, allowing artist Wim Delvoye to explore the digestive process. In his large mechanism, food begins at a long, transparent bowl (mouth), travels through a number of machine-like assembly stations, and ends in hard matter which is separated from liquid through a cylinder. Delvoye collects and sells the realistically smelling output.
I made the conveyor belts used in one of his cloacas. I only found out a year after I made them because I ran into them in a museum.
