British Artists Tim Noble & Sue Webster have been collecting, cleaning and storing dead animals and found objects for many years. To create their jaw-dropping sculptures, the duo arranges their finds into forms that include everything from scrap metals, personal items, empty packaging, and dead animals that were recovered on the streets, or ‘gifted’ to them by their grandmother’s cats.

Once the pieces are finished, the artists use a projector to cast light upon the sculptures, and in turn reveal shadows that range from cities to copulating rats to our most intimate acts.
