Baccio Cloacale: The 2020 Collection
In animal anatomy a cloaca serves reproductive, digestive, urinary and, in some cases, respiratory functions. The name Baccio Cloacale itself is a nod to the different layers of interpretation of this series. While the initial reaction might be related to the food industry, changing eating habits and genetic manipulation, it also aims to trigger a response about self-image, beauty standards, and aesthetic plastic surgery. The ink marks on the skins and use of stock photos point at industrial serialized production. This series was printed as a sort of sales catalog offering products that responded better to different specific needs of potential clients.
