The skinned rabbit by Belgian artist ROA is not a pretty sight. In a realistic style, it shows part of the slaughtering process and provides an insight into the process of producing animal food.
ROA creates his artworks in the context of their immediate surroundings. The aim is to open up a new perspective on the environment through art and to scrutinise it at the same time. His lifelike style deals with the exact physiognomy of animals, traces them and confronts the viewer with their outer and inner being.
The skinned rabbit was created in 2011 as part of the first CityLeaks Festival and has been the subject of controversial debates ever since. The polarising motif thus successfully fulfils the artist's motivation.
