The study of the human habitat is the activity promoted by the artist Mihut Boscu through his latest replica of the famous dog Laika’s binnacle. The real size sculpture, that has the proportions and devices of the ship that Laika orbited on as a worldwide premiere, is made out of recycled materials, found objects that were modified with engineering precision.
The object created by Mihut is a monument of nomadism but also of human cruelty. It’s a reminder for the fact that man is a being deeply preoccupied by evolution.
Like the atomic bomb, Laika experiment redefines the 20th century’s coordinates.
Studiul habitatului uman este preocuparea pe care artistul Mihut Boscu o promoveaza cu recenta sa replica a habitaclului celebrului catel Laika. Sculptura, realizata in marime naturala, ce pastreaza proportiile si mecanismele navetei cu care Laika a navigat pe orbita in premiera mondiala, este construita din materiale reciclate, obiecte gasite si modificate cu o precizie inginereasca.
Obiectul creat de Mihut este un monument al nomadismului, dar si al cruzimii umane. Este un “reminder” ca omul e o fiinta profund preocupata de evolutie.
Alaturi de bomba atomica, experimentul Laika redefineste coordonatele secolului XX.
