For day three of their residency on the SHOWstudio Tumblr, artists Fecal Matter share their visual project 'Domestic Human'.

Project: Domestic Human This project is titled Domestic Human. We feel as though there is a symbolic meaning behind being an owner of a pet. Learning what a pet is when we were all little, reinforces the notion that humans are the most dominant species within this ecosystem. Pet culture is all about humans offering the best life possible for their animals. But in reality, owners are not protecting them, they are domesticating their freedom. In some cases, animals are faced with disturbing amounts of abuse due to their vulnerability. The reason we didn’t do an editorial with real pets is because we wanted to express the idea that all humans, right now, are owned by a more dominant force. It is subjective to what is in control but it is obvious that we are being domesticated. The conscious decision to make the ‘human pet’ look like a child refers to the notion that we are all born enchained in this universe and how children are usually victims to the concept of owner and pet. It comes to no surprise why humans strive to enchain others considering that we were mostly all brought up that way. (All content of this image is created by Fecal Matter)

Project: Yes to Human Cloning Ads This image is a part of a series of adverts for promoting human cloning. We believe cloning humans is the act of “God”. It will help us discover our existence through the process of recreating a genetically identical copy of ourselves. After all, it is likely that we are a copy of a copy.
