Pedigree Human
純種人計畫 2013
Medium: interactive installation (cages, pedigree dogs, pedigree human)
"Pedigree Human" explores the issue of pedigree (purebred) dogs kept on display in pet shops around Taiwan. People's preferences of expensive pedigree dogs have raised several welfare issues, including the lack of genetic diversity and the rising rate of genetic diseases of these pure blood pets.
