Suspicious Science
Suspicious Science is a permanent installation of giant hand-cast resin vegetables illuminated via solar power.
Commissioned by the Europos Parkas Open Air Museum in Vilnius, Lithuania, with funding support from NEA/ CEC ArtsLink, the project responds to the country’s energy plight: 100% of Lithuania’s power comes from dangerously outdated Soviet-era nuclear power plants.
Lithuanian’s grow much of their own food in small family plots, but the soil, air and water have been contaminated by nuclear accidents (such as Chernobyl), and pollutants continue to threaten Lithuania’s local food sources.
