The Dogu Invasion

This is a virtual flythrough of Quartz Hill, California artist Warren Scherich's sculpture garden, "The Dogu Invasion." It is made up of over 12,200 components spread throughout the world. In Warren's back yard, there are large stone sculptures that represent humanity's ancestral heritage and primordial forces that drive human behavior. Many other artifacts are buried deep underground, intended to be found by future humans. Visitors are invited to take small clay dogus with them and ideally bury them so that future civilizations can puzzle over who buried these artifacts around the world, and why. The concept of the dogu is borrowed from the ancient Japanese fertility figurines that have been found all over rural Japan.
