About this artwork

A gallery floor lies scattered with thousands of tiny human figures, each one cut from discarded materials - tin cans, cigarette boxes and fast-food wrappers. Dressed in bright red uniforms under intense bright light, strange characters sweep up these little figures and drop them in bins, ready for the shredding machine called The Vulture.

Imagine you are in this strange place, amongst these strange characters. What can you see? What sounds can you hear? How do you feel? What do you think will happen next?
