Cloaca is an unconventional artistic project by Belgian conceptual artist Wim Delvoye: an installation that simulates human digestion and produces feces. These feces are sold worldwide vacuum packed in translucent boxes. The logo and other promotional art work of the Cloaca project are a parody of the logos of Coca-Cola, Ford, Mr. Clean, and other brands.
The Cloaca exhibition catalogue announces very directly Wim Delvoye's cynical and realistic approach by quoting the classical "brown" Louis Vuitton design.
