Description
Perpetrator, prankster, artful butcher, tattoo artist -- Wim Delvoye wears many hats in this book documenting his art projects involving pigs. Delvoye, a Post-Pop Belgian artist, devotes one section of this book to photographs of his tattooed pigs, the other to his elaborate faux-marble floors made with slices of assorted cold cuts. Saving them from their slaughterhouse fate, he uses these pigs as examples of exemplary cleanliness, as living canvases on which he doesn't even paint himself -- he contracts professional tattoo artists to do so. Also included are his original tattoo drawings, his tattoo series made on pigskins, a selected biography and bibliography, photographs recording the tattooing process, and three essays that delve into Delvoye's provocative past and present work.
