The history of the pig (within us)
Human history is as full of pigs as the pig is full of the meat we love so much. Moreover, the pig is everywhere, full of symbols, stories, and images. Full of stories of love and stories of repulsion. And ultimately, what the pig reveals to us is ourselves*. The gluttonous pig as a metaphor for a global economy of voracity. But human gluttony is dangerous and, for the first time in human history, it could even prove fatal. So, to understand the pig that lives within us, we must write its story.
