...voilá: merde - an outcome that co-opts even the bluntest judgment about contemporary art. "We spend all this love, all this money and manpower," says Delvoye with anarchic glee, "and we get something everybody flushed away this morning." He has had to turn down several requests from science museums that just don't get it: Cloaca isn't meant as a didactic take on the human digestive tract.
