Life is always a mystery but doing art reveals inner truths, gives context to your experience, and gives a sense of meaning to it all. My name is Julia, and the purpose of making this blog is to reveal the learning process in the art chapter of my life.

“even if you can’t turn a dog into a bacon, a pig can be assembled from goulash.”
Pigsticking is seen to follow an inverse chronology. It is possible to observe in real time the easily identifiable stages of traditional separating spare-ribs into pieces, running a reverse course, from replacing the lard, to pouring back the blood into the vein, up to the pulling out of the knife. One more twist is accompanied to the images of pigsticking: the „viewer” set in front of the monitor is considered as a stuffed swine that, being led back like this, can call up the memory of cast (video)pearls before swine, just as the possibility of narcissistic identification of video and swine.”
