When visitors lick the art

0:00

I just thought would be nice for them to

0:02

see it but then people just started

0:03

licking it and I was like what are you

0:06

doing you don't know who's licked there

0:08

before like what are you do like they

0:10

nobody was afraid of that it was weird

0:13

we've all seen sculptures made from

0:14

bronze marble and Clay but what about

0:17

sculptures made from sugar in Berlin

0:20

Joseph's Amazing sugar sculptures are

0:22

sold to collectors around the world my

0:25

name's Joseph Mah and I'm an artist

0:27

working with sugar in Berlin I'm

0:29

originally from Australia we followed

0:31

him as he revealed his most ambitious

0:34

piece to date but first why sugar the

0:38

visual aspect of it is that it's just

0:41

very attractive it's this colorful

0:43

glass-like material it makes you want to

0:46

touch it and and eat it and have it and

0:48

that's quite interesting as a substance

0:50

because paint doesn't do that bronze

0:52

doesn't do that but you have an

0:54

experience of sugar daily all these

0:56

different States during your day are

0:59

affecting who you are it's your identity

1:01

is Shifting constantly it's different

1:03

transitions from being sleepy to excited

1:05

from wanting wanting wanting more money

1:08

wanting more power wanting more Security

1:11

in your life those wants are represented

1:13

really well with sugar so it's quite

1:15

like this ubiquitous material that says

1:18

a lot Joseph's work has gone

1:20

International you can find his eye candy
