The remaining bodies, however, turn into a new food source for animals. This work stages a heterotopic vision of “natural eating,” exploring food ethics from the perspective of animals and prompting a reconsideration of what harmony between species might truly mean.

Worldview Setting

In a future world where the extreme scarcity of natural resources is no longer suitable for biological survival, humans will enter a phase of de-corporealisation and digitisation, making themselves data conscious and detached from their bodies, with the remaining human bodies becoming a new food source for animals.
