Fabulandia is The Lab's two-part exploration into the world of the
future, the domain of the impossible and the fantastical. Fauna
features the work of five artists envisioning the drastically altered
creatures that will populate the terrain of Fabulandia. Fauna fast-
forwards viewers into a shadow land where endangered wildlife has
been conveniently removed and replaced by new and improved versions.
Extravagantly fabricated trophies will be the only surviving memory
of the natural world and its wildlife as it once existed. Just think
of it - new strains of hybrid mutations will exist simply for human
convenience. Plants and animals will be co-joined as tiny deer sprout
massive antlers made from brightly colored coral and double-headed
sheep graze contentedly in bucolic fields of endlessly blooming
daisies. Envision a hyper-efficient future when industry will have
finally created a seamless biotech blend of animals, machinery and
furniture. Covered in your choice of synthetic faux furhellipnaturally.
