Conceived in conjunction with ArteFiera, Marcello Carrà’s exhibition “Né carne né pesce” is not a slogan in favour of a vegetarian diet. It is instead an exhortation to become aware of man’s exploitation of animals, from pigs, of which nothing is left to waste, to fish and marine fauna.
It is a doom that joins sow and her eight piglets brood and Mediterranean fish, which, due to global warming, have to coexist with some more aggressive tropical species now. The artworks that can be up to three meters tall are entirely realised by ball-point pen on paper and plywood and are equipped with commemorative plaques of the pictured subjects.
