kebab sculpture
"Donna" is the title Julian Workenstein chose to name his last work. It is the result of a travel he made to London. There, he would eat at a kebab restaurant every day and on the very last day of his stay, he proposed to the staff that he would make this work. We would gladly taste that woman!!

image fulgurator
This camera is not a camera, but a weapon to destroy pictures taken by other cameras. When a camera takes a picture with flash, the image fulgurator detects that flash and projects an image brighter than the usual flash. This way, when photographers reveal their pictures or open their files on a computer screen, they see the images and message sent by the image fulgurator.
the inflatable church
You don't need 200 years now to build a church (Ken Follet is done!). You can put this inflatable church into a van and once you pay the rent, you can use it however you want. Being air its main source, it is very cheap and ecological. And as you might guess, smoking is prohibited.
