With the same idea as in the work Process Work No.1 we wanted to interact with the environment, rather than making a static work. Then we saw some horse excrements completely covered by white butterflies. The image hit us and wonders at the same time. Seing those delicate white butterflies all lying on the horse excrement so black was a surreal and poetic image, but also a lesson on life cycles. Once again the nature offered us a -objet-trouvé that only had to be stressed. To do this we used a very minimalist shape, an image of something well-ordered, which give a misleading reading: on the one hand a proposal apparently only aesthetics, on the other hand, the fact for some scandalous, of using excrements and on the other to stand out the processes that occur in the cycle of life: excrement were precisely those who did come butterflies.
