Sengl, Deborah. – Killed to be dressed.

Killed to be dressed. – … Medicine, physical education and nutrition are examples of the older areas of interest. In her new series of ‚Killed to be Dressed‘ Deborah Sengl focuses on the relationship between humans and animals. The starting point is not, although it may seem so at first glance, a matter of welfare, but instead an illustration of symbolic power through fur fashion. For centuries it has been among the most prestigious to dress oneself in animal skins. The more exotic and wild the animals, the more prestigious the fur fashion. Since we no longer live in the Stone Age, where people from a pure survival instinct hunted, ate and wore the animals, it is now only about fashion. The absurdity of this, that you hide behind or under the skin of another once living being is not something which most fur bearers think of.
