Warning: If you're squeamish and/or a vegetarian, your tummy may turn upon clicking through 'El Otro Lado' by Mind the Grid, but it's an amazing set of experimental photography nevertheless. The shoot captures scenes from a Buenos Aires butcher shop, and feature hanging limbs, meat coursing through a grinder and cuts laid bare on a flat surface.

We've seen a renewed interest in this carnivorous industry, from both positive and negative viewpoints. Check out more of 'El Otro Lado' above.
