Worm Food

The initial inspiration came from the stark reality of what happens when organ donation is delayed or ignored: a decomposition that could have been avoided. In a bold move, we showcased this real-time decomposition using death certificates, replicating the fate of organs that are buried rather than donated. The worms crawling through the certificates represented the grim process of unused organs. The billboard was installed in high-traffic areas of Chile’s capital, including iconic landmarks, encouraging the public to think critically about this issue.

The first billboard of its kind, featuring real-time decomposition of organic material, was created using death certificates printed on biodegradable material. The worms represented the decomposition of organs that, if not donated, would decay, losing their potential to save lives. The installation prompted public dialogue and encouraged viewers to consider the importance of discussing organ donation with their families before it's too late.
