Hasta La Ideas

A story about what happened to pig #05049. Dutch designer Christien Meindertsma follows the global travels of this pig after slaughter, and documents (with exhaustive photographic evidence) the 185 products it becomes. Matches, tiramisu, car paint, pills, shampoo, bullets, and green electric power are among the many uses of a pig post-abbatoir. One of many meditative discursive design projects from Meindertsma that ask us to think about the way our things are made.
