Our relationship with food is only too often compulsive,
a sort of emotional pillow easily piloted by suggestions
and induced mechanisms of desire.
At the end, we are strongly conditioned, or subjugated,
in our food choices, definitely excessive compared to our
real needs.
In front of these mirrorswe are invited to reflect on this
condition, where we are at the same time spectators and
players, consumers and goods in a perverse loop.
In the temple of powerful global economy is a prioritly
importance to facilitate the psychophysical
discomfort and sickness to then have the lucrative
privilege of being able to cure.
The installation of the two mirrors facing one another
Visually creates this infinite loop in which the observer is caged in
this "prison of signs" (diagram for cuts of meat from slaughter)
transforming its image from "consumer" to "human being consumed."

If your busy with relationship food and human I can recommend you this talk. It's a talk from Christien Meindertsma, where she the relationship between human and pig with a closer look describes, it's called 'how pig parts make the world turn'. Here you have a link! http://www.ted.com/talks/christien_meindertsma_on_pig_05049
