FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Superegg Sculpture Installation by Jaco Roeloffs
Jaco Roeloffs, a Dutch South African sculptor based in Brisbane, Australia, unveiled his captivating Superegg sculpture installation at the SWELL Sculpture Festival in September 2019. The thought-provoking artwork, inspired by the rapid multiplication of single-use coffee capsules, aims to shed light on the environmental impact of human convenience.
The Superegg sculpture, standing at 2038mm high and 1463mm in diameter, is a striking representation of the consequences of modern consumer product packaging on nature. Crafted from aluminium, steel, plywood, and 3000 recycled coffee capsules, the installation offers a new perspective on waste and recycling habits.
Roeloffs' creation, awarded Platinum in the A' Fine Arts and Art Installation Design Award in 2020, invites viewers to engage with the harmonious co-existence of humans and nature through art. The sculpture's levitated form and illuminated interior provide a visceral experience, challenging observers to reconsider their relationship with the environment.
