The Mutoid Waste Co. are a group of sculptors, musicians, performance and multidisciplinary artists. As the group’s name suggests, they mutate waste, which then sets as the background for their installations, performances, parties and events. With the use of all types of scrap as their raw material, from industrial to domestic and from huge derelict military machines to small everyday items, they have created a new form of art crossing boundaries of sculpture, mechanical-art, performance, theater and music. Founded in 1984 by the London artists Joe Rush and Robin Cooke, the Mutoids had a significant impact everywhere they worked and performed, from legendary London warehouse raves to the ‘Car Henge’ sculpture in Glastonbury 1987. They went on world tour in 1989 and have been mostly a mobile crew since, traveling and leaving their unmistakable mark around the world, including London, Berlin, Paris, Barcelona, Italy, Japan, Australia and more. Being so visually unique, the Mutoids have attracted many photographers and film makers who tried to capture the Mutoid experience on film. None was allowed a deeper entry to their world than the Berlin film maker Uli Happe, whose film shows the most intimate and most spectacular moments of these adventurous times
