It's the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life. I mean, cat's in general put me in fits of hysterics even when they're not doing anything. But THIS! This is truly the work of twisted genius...
Title: Re: Dutch artist turns dead pet cat into helicopter Post by: The Gravekeeper on June 04, 2012, 05:38:29 PM I love the comments on the page. All these accusations that it's sick because it's "not normal" (esp love the accusation that now kids will want to do this with a live cat...how many kids do you know who have any interest in the news, let alone contemporary art news?). I don't find this to be much stranger than when people get their beloved pets stuffed or buried in a pet cemetery. Everyone grieves differently and has a different idea of what makes for a good tribute. He evidently wanted to make something light-hearted he could share out of a personal tragedy.
Besides, I find Damien Hirst's animals much more disturbing. I can't say I'm a fan of the way formaldehyde kind of distorts the things it's supposed to be preserving...

It should have been invented in Japan . . . :teddyr:
