And that is why transplantologists in our time transplant the hearts of some specially bred pig breeds to people, transfuse them with their blood. Here is this fact, namely, the closeness of man and pig, decided to beat in series their photo works American-Korean artist Miru Kim.
Photo artist Miru Kim is already known to the readers of our website thanks to her series of self-portraits entitled “Naked City Spleen”. So in her new works, she also appears in the nude before the audience. But, this time, not in an urban setting, but among the pigs on the farm.
This series of works by Mira Kim called this phrase, which is the "motto" of a huge number of people on planet Earth. “The pig that therefore I am” (“I am a pig, which means I exist,” she reinterprets the famous expression of Descartes. aesthetics, then Miru Kim means something completely different.
With her creativity, she pays tribute to pigs as animals that have saved many lives by becoming, albeit not voluntary, but organ donors for seriously ill people.
Therefore, according to the artist, people should treat these animals with much greater respect. Indeed, in fact, the difference between our biological species is so significant. Especially if you look at the series of photographs "The pig that therefore I am".
These pictures show Miru Kim herself surrounded by pigs. And, indeed, in this environment, with this lighting and when shooting from such an angle, people and pigs seem to be practically brothers.
