Artist: Vegesent
Materials: Stool legs, sand from Helsinki, discarded pigments.
Dimensions: 16 x 44 cm 6 × 17 in each
Art description: The concept is based on body parts.
The dish of five cockscombs once fed to emperors. Nine bone-in chicken wings can cost as little as seven euros forty today. Same amount of animals for one plate, but different price then and now.
The work is built from stool legs, the wooden legs of furniture. They represent a body part hidden in a furniture shape.
This contrast reveals how the value different economic systems assign to animal bodies has shifted with industrialization.
