p.1 #6 · p.1 #6 · Going to the butcher in Cambodia
It is interesting to me that an image can have such a profound affect on someone, and cause one to question one's own sensibilities, culture, and experience.
Looking at the raw meat displayed as it is, it confronts me with the gap there is between the modern 1st world "meat market" experience (e.g. in a modern supermarket) with its "clean, laboratory-looking" atmosphere, and this "exposed and on the ground by bare feet" looking market. Two different worlds.
This is not a judgement that one is better than the other, merely that there is a big difference in what is seen.
I have seen pig heads in "first world" markets, and they look like pig heads. My comment is about the "atmosphere" or entire scene.
