Die australische Künstlerin Justine Cooper arbeitet immer wieder an der Schnittstelle Kunst/Kultur und Wissenschaft/Medizin. Ihr neuestes Projekt “Havidol” ist ein klassischer Fake: Ihre fiktionale Marketingkampagne wirbt für ein magisches, glückbringendes Lifestyle-Medikament – und verspricht Abhilfe gegen “Dysphoric Social Attention Consumption Deficit Anxiety Disorder” (etwa: Dysphorisches soziales Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit und Beklemmungsverwirrung). “Havidol is an artful parody of a new kind of gold rush heralding an era in which pharmaceutical companies mine psycho-chemicals for a public who is ready to swallow almost anything in the pursuit of the new American Dream: a life without pain, only gain”, erklärt ihre New Yorker Galerie Daneyal Mahmood das Projekt.

This is so terribly sad and such a waste of life. From the little I understand of what is written, it seems as though there is a very valid point. However, that can only remain a point of validity and not hypocracy, if all of the above photos are fabricated or taken from elsewhere. In other words, if the person responsible for these images created them him/herself and actually killed the animals, then that certainly cannot be respected. Whereas, if the person responsible for these images walked through a lab, for instance, and photographed someone else’s cruelty to animals to spread awareness of the fact, I think it’s admirable. No one wants to see that or know it exists, but it does none the less, and so it seems only to numb pain for a while.
