Humans from 1982, Two German artists Per & Bastian collaborate in creating works. Their most recent piece, Collection of light, 2011, are LED's displayed in refurbished archival display boxes that were previously the housing for insects and beetles from the Stockholm museum of natural history. The work reflects a practice involved in superimposing said "natural" elements in settings which they are displayed in to increase longevity. The use of LED's in place of insects suggests the celebration of these industrial elements in the same way.
