The Casino de Luxembourg has recently held a retrospective exhibition of Delvoye's defecating machines.
The whole family was there: Cloaca Original, Cloaca - New & Improved, Cloaca Turbo, Cloaca Quattro, Cloaca N° 5, Super Cloaca and Personal Cloaca. Plus original drawings, 3D and x-ray photographs, models of Cloaca Clinic gates, videos, sealed bags of Cloaca Faeces and other paraphernalia.
The brand new 8th Cloaca, Mini Cloaca, was premiered at the Casino. The tubular structure is made of metal and glass, and composed of mechanical organs that swallow, grind, digest and defecate a given amount of food. While Super Cloaca consumes 300 kg of food and produces 80 kg of faeces per day, the quantity of food ingested by the dwarfed one is equivalent to that of a breakfast.
Also be sure to check out the Cloaca testimonials and the gift shop, which includes a Wim Delvoye action figure with Cloaca toy, a Cloaca viewmaster, and Cloaca toiletpaper. Incidentally, when not devising new fecal machinations, Devoye also tattoos pigs.

p.s. You don't even want to know how much freeze dried bags of Cloaca-doo are selling for. It will only make you sad.
