Materials: Stool legs, sand from Helsinki, discarded pigments.
Dimensions: 16 x 44 cm 6 × 17 in each
Art description: Made from stool legs, the concept is based on body parts.
Hundreds of years ago, dish of 5 cockscombs (another body part) was considered an exceptionally expensive delicacy. Today, a fast-food portion of nine bone-in chicken wings can cost as little as €7.40.
This contrast reveals how the perceived value of animal life and the effort invested in animal welfare have shifted over time., reflecting industrialization and the diminishing awareness of the cost of individual lives.
