-Vanmechelenkoen offset with mouth mask
– Mouth Mask – therefore carry the statement; This is Not a Chicken. It is time for a strong turnaround. Time to work on clear physical and mental spaces to create a better society.
With his Cosmopolitan Chicken Project; an artistic crossbreeding project with chickens from all over the world, Belgian artist Koen Vanmechelen has been learning from the chicken for years. The project is a metaphor for how we, humans, treat this animal and by extension our planet. His statement “We are the chicken” has become increasingly clear in recent weeks. After years of being forced to stay indoors, we, the most domesticated species of all, now also have to go into quarantine.
