Saeborg, Pigpen, 2016

Japanese cyborg artist Saeborg—who started out working at Department H (a Tokyo-based sex party for minorities) in the early 2000s—fashions latex costumes, suits and giant inflatables that she wears for performances. Though they no longer look like human female bodies, the performances refer to the processes women and their bodies are pressured to go through. A frequent metaphor for Saeborg is livestock and other animals bound for the production line, such as this giant nursing mama pig, in a work titled Pigpen (first performed in Japan in 2016 and showing at the Athens Biennale, which opens next week). Peppa Pig will never look the same again.
