About Kill the Pig by Masahisa Fukase

Masahisa Fukase’s first solo exhibition, Kill the Pig, was in Tokyo, 1961. The exhibition consisted of two series of photographs: one titled ‘Kill the Pig’ and another series titled ‘Naked’. The series ‘Kill the Pig’ featured photographs set in a slaughterhouse in Shibaura, Tokyo. Huge numbers of ravens also congregated there, drawn by the odour of raw meat, as the air resounded eerily with their cries. The series featured photographs in black and white and also in colour. Additionally, the colour shots were mostly reserved for the scenes showing blood and death.
