Saliva

$25,000.00

"Saliva" is a surreal and unsettling analog assemblage, measuring 30" x 30", and priced at $25,000. This unique, one-of-a-kind work subverts our expectations of the human body and challenges our relationship with nature. Sam HEYDT's provocative piece depicts a mouth, but not just any mouth - one that has been transformed into a wave, teeming with surfers. This bizarre and fantastical scenario raises questions about the boundaries between our inner and outer worlds, and the ways in which we interact with our environment. Are we consuming the natural world, or is it consuming us? By inserting the thrill-seeking surfers into the intimate space of the mouth, HEYDT creates a sense of unease and disorientation, highlighting the tension between our desires for pleasure and our responsibility to the planet. Accompanied by a QR code, this innovative work also incorporates cutting-edge technology, allowing viewers to unlock an Augmented Reality (AR) animation that converges old and new mediums to create a visually stunning and alive work. Scanning the code brings the surfers to life, as they ride the wave of saliva in a mesmerizing display of color and movement. "Saliva" is a powerful commentary on our times, and a must-have for collectors and institutions seeking to engage with the most pressing issues of our era.
