Saugut und ein wenig wie wir

The pig brings luck and is modeled in marzipan, but it also serves as a metaphor for everything that is dirty, improper, and sinful. The pig is cast out, or rather, confined and carefully hidden from the eyes of people. At the same time, the pig is an invaluable model for the human body and is the animal that people have consumed most frequently over the last 50 years. Kristoffer Hatteland Endresen has delved into the essence and mysteries of the pig – from birth to slaughter. The result is a story about appetite and aversion, meat and morality, and about the question of where the dividing line between human and animal actually lies.
