Apex Predator Darwinian Voodoo creates art that subverts Darwin’s theory of evolution and natural selection with the belief system of supernatural ceremonial ritual. The concepts of nature and super-nature are explored in the work. Within this conceptual framework, Fantich & Young created a luxury lifestyle brand called Darwinian Voodoo that debuted its alpha collection called Apex Predator.
The artwork mimics and satirises a high-end fashion house’s products, presentation and philosophies. The work investigates the themes of competition, social hierarchy, winners and losers and the grey areas in-between.
