① Artwork:
Just some photons on my fur
This painting depicts the silhouette of a mystical animal floating above a background of untamed vegetation. The animal’s augmented figure and multiple limbs are an example of the artist’s interest in the domestication of living organisms. Cochet questions how animals have been transformed by their proximity to humans by exploring the simultaneous existence of their ancestral and domesticated states.
