 Performance/mixed
media installation: bamboo, New Hampshire pigs in masks,
classical Chinese Paintings.
This
performance demands that the viewer confront New Hampshire
pigs (black and white) for what they are and what they resemble
- panda bears. By doctoring their appearance with white
masks and placing them inside a typically 'orientalized'
atmosphere, with Chinese painting on the wall and bamboo
shooting from the ground, the pigs resemble panda's more
than ever. In addition to treating the animal with cultural
markings, as in many of the artist's experimental work with
animals, this work questions the way our own vision is altered
by visual culture between civilizations.
