Wim Delvoye

Born in Wervik, Belgium, 1965
Lives and works in Ghent, Belgium

Wim Delvoye is a Belgian conceptual artist known for a number of unconventional projects, like tattooing pigs. Delvoye is unique in his ability to produce work that is remorselessly cynical and hopelessly utopian at the same time. Cloaca is probably his most famous art installation, a complex machinery that simulate "digestion" and produces "poo".
