Bathurst Regional Art Gallery presents Munch, 2023 by Tom Buckland in the OUT THERE DIGITAL PLATFORMS | Forecourt Projector

In 2015, it was discovered that mealworms can degrade polystyrene into usable organic matter at a rate of about 34–39 milligrams per day. Additionally, no difference was found between mealworms fed only styrofoam and mealworms fed conventional foods during the one-month duration of the experiment.

Munch is a short humorous video work featuring a hungry trio of life-sized meal worms chowing down on some plastic delicacies.
