Many Banded Krait- Bungarus multicinctus

This beautiful snake is one the most venomous terrestrial species of snake in the world. 

However, the venom of this snake played a key role in pharmacology through the use of its venom to develop receptor-labelling techniques. 

Untitled (Perfect Lovers) consists of two clocks, which start in synchronisation, and slowly, inevitably fall out of time due to the failure of the batteries and the nature of the mechanism. In a moving comment on his personal experiences, the piece refers to Gonzalez-Torres’ HIV positive partner Ross Laycock, and his slow decline and inevitable death due to AIDS. The clocks act as two mechanical heartbeats; representative of two lives destined to fall out of sync, and holds a poignant poetry about personal loss and the temporal nature of life.

Famous paintings come to life in 3D sculptures of nature’s destructive tendencies.
