The ritual that is not constantly changing becomes the standard. This standardization causes the rite to become absorbed within the quotidian. The alteration of the liturgy lets us re-memorise the essence of the ceremonial and the tradition itself, through experience. This alteration, from the most literal gesture, becomes an appropriation of the outside, or of the ritual which has been snatched away from the community, in the reiteration of the customary.mbre.
This project aims to disrupt all existing ritual in pig breeding and slaughter, as well as its anthropological fact and the possible parallel with religious imagery in different environments and contexts. This involves a satirical look at the reasons why the pig may be considered as food, a plaything, a friend, a symbol or a divine being, in order to reflect upon the power relations between animal and human.
