A major work by visual artist Subodh Gupta, Very Hungry Godis a monumental vanitas composed of traditional Indian stainless steel utensils.
Starting from an initial sketch, CHD sculpted the form and defined the construction principles that made this exceptional piece possible, then ensured its fabrication, maintenance, handling and installation. Presented at Saint-Bernard Church, Laennec Chapel and the Monnaie de Paris, this key work from the Pinault Collection is designed to be shown in ever-renewed contexts.
