Deceased Animal Displays

These Terrifying Displays of Dead Animals Will Make You Feel Uneasy

— June 17, 2013 — Unique
These terrifying displays by the 'IDIOTS' art group showcases a grotesque nature that will make many people feel uneasy.

The art group compromised of Afke Golsteijn, Ruben Taneja and Floris Bakker crafted these hauntingly beautiful displays with the use of jewelry, everyday objects and taxidermy. The taxidermy display showcases an array of animals in a manner that will upset many animal rights activists. According Goldsteijn, his intention for creating these terrifying displays was to provide a story of sorts -- what that story is, is up to your interpretation. Partially decapitated cats, fetus cows and sawed-off foxes are just some of the beautifully deceased displays that are showcased.

Whatever one's interpretation of these displays are, there's no denying that the manner of how these were showcased will give anyone an uneasy feeling.

Trend Themes
1. Gothic Taxidermy - The trend of using taxidermy to create haunting displays with a touch of jewelry and everyday objects is disrupting the traditional taxidermy industry and pushing the boundaries of what art can be.
2. Provocative Art - The trend of producing art that is unsettling and likely to provoke strong reactions from viewers is creating disruptive innovation opportunities for artists and galleries looking to push boundaries and stand out from the crowd.
3. Shocking Display - The trend of showcasing shocking displays of deceased animals is challenging society's norms and preconceived ideas of what art should be, leading to opportunities for artists and curators to explore new and provocative themes.
Industry Implications
1. Jewelry - The use of jewelry in taxidermy displays is disrupting the traditional jewelry industry, creating new markets for edgier and more provocative products that appeal to a younger, more alternative demographic.
2. Art Galleries - The trend of producing provocative art is creating disruptive innovation opportunities for art galleries looking to appeal to a younger and more diverse audience, challenging traditional conventions and exploring edgier themes and aesthetics.
3. Animal Rights Activism - The trend of showcasing deceased animals in a shocking and provocative manner is creating disruptive innovation opportunities for animal rights activists and organizations, who are leveraging the public's emotional response to raise awareness and advocate for change.
