South African multidisciplinary artist Daniel Popper is known for his colossal figurative sculptures and spectacular public art installations at art and music events around the world. From a gigantic female goddess at Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas to a 12-meter-tall (39-foot-tall) forest god at Boom Festival in Portugal, his larger-than-life works bring magic and fantasy to each place they inhabit.
One of Popper’s most recent sculptures, Modem Swamp, is an epic, 8-meter-tall (26-foot-tall) female figure at this year’s Modem Festival in Croatia. Created using steel and fiberglass, and covered in concrete, the whimsical character is posed holding her face in front of her head like a mask, revealing the wild jungle growing within her skull.
At night, projection mapping makes the piece appear as though it’s changing color and material—at one point, it even looks like it’s made from chrome.
