not a flower


Remember the classical dadaist fountain of Marcel Duchamp – who placed an urinal inside an art gallery and proclaimed it was Art? San Fransisco based artist Clark Sorensen takes urinal art into a entirely different direction. The guy made a flourishing practice for himself in the fine art of handcrafted urinal flowers.


No, this is not a flower. This is a fully functioning urinal, disguised as a flower. While all the girls may consider it kitsch, us guys have to admit that the idea of an officegarden where you can take a leak inside a daffodil, has a certain luster, no?

  • Hello, I published a book last year that talks a lot about the uncanny as an effect of modern ecological culture. You might be interested (see blog). http://ecologywithoutnature.blogspot.com/ I’m now finishing a book called The Ecological Thought, that delves even further into the uncanny. Thank you for your website—it’s terrific. Yours sincerely, Timothy Morton
