Smell of intimacy

2023 -

A precise gesture, starting with a gentle incision from the top of the abdomen and descending to the anus while ensuring to navigate around the wings and skull of the creature.

With a certain firmness, the bird's body must be held—not with fingertips, no. It must be grasped firmly. A disconcerting sensation, the animal, adorned in its coat of feathers, is still warm.

With the second hand, which until now remained free, need to find the delicate opening that separates the feathers from the flesh.

Gradually, the icy scent of a piece of vacuum-sealed meat from the supermarket rises in your throat. The material is there, it's just a matter of doing it.
