I first posted about Afke Golsteijn and Floris Bakker - better known as Idiots - in my Taxidermia Wurzeltodensis post over 4 years ago.
The taxidermists haven't been idle since then and are currently presenting their most recent creatures, sculptures and embroidery works at Amsterdam's artKitchen Gallery in a retrospective entitled Romantic Decay.
Sadly, the gallery never replied to my image request so I therefore have no clue what's precisely going to be on show and have decided to feature two of my old Idiots favourites here instead. Details for the show below.
