Meat' is primarily about Body-Form, deformation, the flesh, the carnal. How all matter decays, transforms itself from one form to another and ultimately disintegrates into ash. Stacks of bone shards and ash, the human remains after cremation, appear like hotel pillows ready for laundry on a factory line in the morning. Biographies exist, momentarily, within slabs of frying flesh like gristle, fat, nerve or bone whilst the landscape looms outside, this endless city, ever present, howling like a beast to chew you up and spit you out disfigured once more, or swallow you up completely once you emerge from this illusory sanctuary. 'Meat' brings together more than 500 Olivier Pin-Fat's photographs, and 2 of his texts: one about the project and context of 'Meat', the other, about his approach to photography. As an invited artist displaying his very personal view on the project, the book comes with an entr'acte by Brad Feuerhelm: 'The Bleach at the End of the Bottle Tastes Just as Nice'.
