Jason de Caires Taylor's Urban Reef.




I’m sure you’ve seen Jason de Caires Taylor. He is famous for his sculptures of mass crowds of people, placed underwater at the Museum of Underwater Modern Art in Cancun, Mexico (see images here). Recently, he installed a new series of sculptures in the same museum, a series of “urban reefs”. He constructed small replicas of classic suburban homes for sea dwelling creatures. The rooms in the homes are specially constructed. De Caires Taylor worked with marine biologists to create specific areas in the houses for various reef inhabitants to hide from predators.
