Some of the comments on the page are interesting, but I agree the artist is a sick fuck. Let's see him tie himself to a fucking post and starve to death to prove a point, instead of using a hapless dog. Motherfucker.

The guy definitely tapped into some outrage. Check out how many comments there are on that page.

Its sick and taints the art world in a bad way. Cruelty to another living organism is unethical and immoral art. Cruelty to oneself as art, while controversial, can pass muster, up to a point. But to another being, is abhorrent.

i refuse to read the article. but i can say this, anyone who does such an act for the sake of entertainment or "study" can just die. a person of such little humanism does not deserve to share the same oxygen as you and i.

I get that in a lot of third world places dogs just roam around aimlessly
without any sort of base, even if this artist was attempting to imitate
this homeless dogs life on the street leading to starvation and eventuallly death,
he should have left it on the street where the dog had probably been living
for years without fail. Now if he wanted to tie himself up and starve then kill
himself, fine, which by all the hateful responses to the article should be his
next plan of action, overall bad attempt at art imitating life. Imagine the PETA
people will be all over this guy.

That reminds me of the scene with the horse from The Cell

[palmer]

Re: Letting a dog stave to death is art?

"Some of The Cell's scenes are inspired by works of art. For example, a scene in which a horse is split into sections was inspired by the works of British artist Damien Hirst.[1] The film also includes scenes based on the work of other late 20th century artists, including Odd Nerdrum, H. R. Giger and the Brothers Quay.[1] Many aspects of the killer's "dream sequences" bear resemblance to the imagery used in Mark Romanek's music videos including Nine Inch Nails "Closer" and "The Perfect Drug" and Madonna's "Bedtime Story." Surreal images such as the victorian dilapidated machinery opening cobwebbed gates showing still vignettes of deviant sexuality, moray eels, vultures as pets moving in slow motion on perches, spinning metal hiroglyph-laden cubes with circular grainy video on each face, viscous fluid and water replacing blood, and more are all seen in both The Cell and these videos. All of this imagery draws upon the early cinematic visual style of surrealist artists such as Salvador Dali's infamous "Un Chien Andalou"
