The installation takes a look at industrial pig farming in my region, unfolding through three lenses: the folklore and legends surrounding the animal, its humanization and demonization, and the ecological footprint it leaves behind. Documentary language intertwines with lyrical imagery and personal writing, weaving a narrative that oscillates between intimacy and confrontation.

The installation opens with the stillness of a dry field at dawn. Gradually, the quiet is fractured by the mechanical chorus of pigs’ cries, traffic, and heavy machinery. On a smaller screen, two slaughterhouse workers recount the unyielding rhythm of their labour: over 30,000 pigs processed daily in winter, unbearable heat in summer, and a ceaseless cycle of production that drains vast quantities of water and leaves waste hidden near the edges of the natural world. The work confronts the viewer with the dissonance between the serene surface of the landscape and the brutal machinery that underpins it.
