These intentionally shocking DogCarpets are the work of artists Ondrej Brody and Kristofer Paetau. They were created as a response to the modern culture of worshipping pets as prized members of the family while simultaneously hunting wild animals to produce consumer goods like carpets. The artists employed taxidermy to create carpets using “inappropriate” pet animals to question the values behind this accepted tradition. While many people will dismiss this project as grotesque and unnecessary, others will find it compelling and thought-provoking.  The act of picking 10 freshly killed dogs out of maybe 80 killed that day was also like straight out of a nightmare, but I was surprised and terrified to see how easily I started looking at the dead bodies just as aesthetic objects, trying to make the best choice.
