He's a caution to rattlesnakes.*

In cages within cages within razor wire, these creatures live in an exhibit at CCCB, the Centre de Cultura Contemporania de Barcelona. The overall exhibit explores Apartheid, but I felt that this piece creeped under the skin of the modern human condition. There are monkey men, wrinkly grey bird-like men, and one tall birdmonkeyman with a parachute of wires. The interior of the inner cage is covered in red plastic gloves and rubbish. It made me think of war, genocide, and cloning, an unsettling sight in an otherwise quaint little square.
