Refrigerator Illusion

〈Frozen Monuments for Humanity〉, .
A fridge represents the richness of human civilization. Especially, due to a fridge, humans have faced no difficulties in eating fresh meat. Now human perception for meat has come to be as insensible as humanly possible, yet we easily forget the fact that such meat was once a living thing.
This work takes a new perspective on a fridge that is the most familiar appliance in our daily life and stands for the abundance of human civilization by regarding it as “a frozen monument to praise human civilization.” This cold gravestone is filled with living livestock. In fact we all know: how these meats filling the fridge are processed. And yet we deliberately avoid confronting this inconvenient truth for our convenience and pretend not to be aware of it.
Eventually, by revealing the truth in a more direct way
we have turned away, this work intends to provide us with an opportunity to look back into our civilization. The affluence of human civilization has become an arrow targeted back at us. This disaster we have been suffering in our daily life is never irrelevant to our selfish and indifferent attitude towards life and nature.
