Artwork Description

Carne (Flesh)

0.0 x 0.0

Pork. It's one of the first word that comes in mind, isn't it? I think there is a fundamental problem. Most of the time comparisons between human and animals highlight commonly known characteristics, mostly predictable and cultural. Cunning like a fox, frightened rabbit. Pork as a pig. Dirty, perverted, depraved. What about cooked steak ? meat? Pigs are one of the first sources of edible meat. Meat(flesh) is also ours: our flesh, what we are made of. I wonder why what really links us to the animals is not what comes in mind when thinking about common aspects. Woman as representation of Human kind. Pig as a rappresentative of Animal kind. But man is an animal. United in breath, in blood in flesh.
