A work that melts cruelty in beauty
The Animals of the Beautiful Cruel Series consists of episodes 1 to 6.
Although the animal is amputated, it has a double metaphor with beautiful looking parts and extreme inner pain.
The Beautiful Cruel Series Object Ver. is composed of episodes 1–3. A scene that reflects off a beautiful looking object is a brutal scene in a movie where people are murdered.
The question the artist asks us
X Magnum 44 says, “I made the cut bananas look as beautiful as possible. Bananas are said to take root when planted again. Maybe the banana is still alive. It is very cruel to have a banana cut. Currently, the next series in preparation is Human Beauty and Cruelty.”
