A scenographic design that uses suggestion and association to deal with the subject of meat and questions our empathy.
Butcher's hooks, white tiled wall, pink neon light - the installation stages an environment that we associate with meat. The context of keeping, slaughtering and preparing the animals for consumption also quickly becomes clear.
Three flies are living elements of the scenery. They reinforce the association with meat and also create an emotional connection to the trapped insects. This automatically raises questions.
Empathy with insects confronts us with a contradiction. The fate of countless animals that are slaughtered for consumption seems to affect us less as long as we don't see it.
A brochure explaining the content and concept of the installation gives visitors the opportunity to engage with the theme and design in a sustainable way.
