Fish
Assemblage
Fish. The part of a car turbine gave the idea. As far as this part had an oval whole, it had to be filled with something. I came up with the idea to make it transparent and possible to open. I used the corps of a large clock with glass possible to open for this. Gears, tubes and other parts can be seen through this. It lets one discover a robotized inside of the fish. In addition, a tail is a very interesting part. An unexpected idea to use a leather gun compartment which I acquired in a flea market came to my mind. I think that I’ve made an original turbo fish.
The main details:
- The body of fish has been made of the corps of the car turbine;
- Organs have been made of the parts of a clock, trumpet and other brass parts;
- A tail has been made of the combination of an aluminum flask and a leather case;
- An eye has been made of a tennis ball;
- A fin has been made of a fork made of a German silver;
- Emmission pipes have been made of gas burners;
- Mouth of the fish has been made of the part of the spoon;
- The elements of the background have been made of the fragments of a female belt.
