Legislation on working with such organisms is very strict and detailed, particularly in Western countries. However, as a rule, it requires the killing of all laboratory animals involved in the experiment and the destruction of the animal remains produced.
The art installation is not intended to moralise and judge the exploitation of animals for scientific research purposes, nor the people who oppose it. The work of art aims merely to encourage dialogue and reflection in the public and to raise awareness in society about the background of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and other preparations used in everyday life.
The exhibition was open until 30 September.
