Day 9 in Hong Kong - Sculpture - 12/14/05

Sculpture in Victoria Park
The sculpture is the work of Jens Galschiot, a Danish scupltor
The images are meant to shock and disturb.
1. Hunger March - Sculptures of starved children.
2. Survival of the Fattest - A huge fat woman from the West sitting on the shoulders of a starved African man. The sculpture epitomizes the imbalanced distribution of the world's resources, preserved by a biased and unjust world trade.
3.Mad Cow Disease - A pair of scales. On one arm a dead cow is hanging by its legs, on the other a number of Africans (in copper). A symbol pinpointing that the rich world is spending five times the amount of their development aid to subsidize their own agriculture.
