“As consumers, we have so much power to change the world by just being careful in what we buy”
Emma Watson.
eating prawns
pulling out the feet
ripping off the head
cracking open the shell
emptying the intestines
biting off the white meat
licking the fingers
Why do we have to consume food?
What makes an animal cute and what makes it mouthwatering?
After our history of optimizing nature through cultivation we entered the age of the art of industrialization. Fully automated, increasing profits, optimizing the outcome, enhancing the yield. The art of optimizing the profit from growing and harvesting animals. Nature became a mere thing without us being connected to her, we just use her – we just take advantage and we optimized taking.
Food or art _ or what is the difference?
our prawns come with genetically attached feeding tubes to give you the most pleasurable yielding experience.
The prawn as a symbol of good fortune, happiness, and success. It is also said to represent strength, power, and determination.
I worked with the organic material as a positive form and burned it out of the mold. Like the crab there are many imperfections of the mold due to the shell residues. after the sandblasting I polished it a bit and attached the transparent tubes.
