I love a bit of meat which is why I love the work of Nicolas Lampert - his [meat landscapes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pratone-chair) were previously featured here at Trend Hunter. This chicken takes it to a whole new level. Lampert worked with Micaela O’Herlihy to create this [ten-foot rotisserie chicken](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humansized-egg-installation) out of polystyrene foam which was hard coated, painted with latex paint and final coat of high gloss varnish.

This piece, “Attention Chicken!" made [surprise public appearances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1). Strangely, it was even attacked three times in one day!

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Meat Art:** Opportunity for artists to explore the use of meat as a medium for creating unique and attention-grabbing artworks.
- **Public Installation:** Potential for creating large-scale, surprise public installations that capture the interest and curiosity of passersby.
- **Food Sculpture:** Innovative approach to food-themed sculptures, allowing artists and designers to push the boundaries of creativity and craftsmanship.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Art:** Artists and sculptors can capitalize on the trend of using unconventional materials and techniques to create visually striking pieces.
- **Tourism:** Public installations like the 'Attention Chicken' can attract tourists and enhance the cultural appeal of a city or destination.
- **Hospitality:** Restaurants and hotels can adopt the concept of food sculptures as unique decorations that create a memorable dining or lodging experience for their customers.
