This artist spent three years researching all the products made from a single pig. The variety of objects is astonishing. Who knew? I love the way he displayed the objects, in tidy little meat packages in open meat refrigerators. The viewer is aware of the artist's efforts to present the objects in a way that is pristine and neat, as a reference, but the viewer is unable to forgot the history of the object due to the implications within the display form. Great peice of art, as well as artist mind!

I don't know if I can ever eat marshmallows in good conscience again :(
