The Meat Guns

The Meat Guns

Dimitri Tsykalov is a Russian artist based in Paris who likes to experiment and to shock viewers. Most of his sculptures are made with edible foods and aim to make statements about world hunger, barbarous animal treatment, and various abuse of men. His “Skull” series shows a great precision and accuracy, while “Meat” trespasses few limits.

"In these pictures I recognize the murderess within me, I recognize love and death within me; in these pictures I recognize my flesh as the cannon fodder it is and will be for the rest of my life. In contrast the secondary meat in these shots - the one that rots and that kills, the animal meat that is used to create the fleshy weapons - seems unscathed, sanguine and elegiac. It is incredibly alive, it is cannon flesh and we are already mortal."
