Dutch designer Tomas Gabzdil Libertiny’s Unbearable Lightness at Design Miami / Basel 2010 was a honeycomb Jesus humming with 40,000 live worker bees. As a commentary on humanity’s after-life dreams and daily toils within society’s boundaries, Libertiny had his bees ooze out honey from the porous flesh. The bees were working diligently, unaware of their transparent prison made of plexiglass, stainless steel and beeswax, creating a floating crucifixion of honeycomb.
Burn brightly, Pete
