An artist trapped goldfish in IV bags for a museum show in Korea. They were released after visitors complained about them dying:
Since the end of last month, 15 goldfish had been slowly dying at the Jeonnam Museum of Art in Gwangyang, South Korea, trapped inside an installation by the artist Yu Buk. On Tuesday, in response to accusations of animal cruelty, the animals were removed from the piece—after one-third of them had already died., featured 15 intravenous solution bags hanging from the gallery ceiling, each filled with water and a single, doomed, fish swimming inside.
Local animal rights groups also began speaking out against the piece, which prompted the museum to save the surviving goldfish—to the artist’s displeasure. “The slow deaths of the goldfish were meant to be a part of my piece. Now that the fish are gone, it lost its meaning as a work of art,” Yu told the. “While this may cause discomfort to general audiences, the artist thinks and expresses differently from members of the public.”
This is hardly the first time the artist has incorporated animal mortality into his work. The bulk of Yu’s practice seems to involve luring flies and other insects to their death using glowing light and adhesive applied to acrylic or glass boxes.He incorporates swarms of dead creatures into sculptures, images of which he has recently minted as NFTs on
