In the context of art history, the staging recalls the baroque era, when opulent still lifes, often with elaborately arranged fruits, meat, and game, symbolized prosperity. Here, the grilled chicken is used as a representative of meat, indicating consumption habits and the relationship to animal life. At the same time, the aesthetics of baroque still lifes are turned upside down and transported into today's time. The representation creates a powerful symbolism that encourages the viewer to reflect on today's consumer society and its impact on the lives of other creatures.
