About the Item

The third series of photographs by fine Taxidermists Sinke Van Tongeren. After observing and analysing so many 17th century paintings, they were inspired to create a new series of work focused on still life masterpieces. They chose photography as the medium to portray their Fine Taxidermy work interpreted through vanitas still lifes. The collection, ‘Les Peintures des Taxidermistes’, comprises eight works. Vanitas still lifes were enormously popular in the 17th century, often inspired by biblical themes and the saying that “All is vanity”. It reminded the viewer of his or her own mortality. For these series of still lifes Sinke Van Tongeren not only created meaningful scenes of taxidermy, they also mined their enormous collection of great finds to gather the most beautiful and unusual antiques to complement each scene. Title of this work; ‘JE ME VAIS SACRIFIER’ It’s an old parchment-covered book as the solid base under a nest made from blood coral segments. In the nest we find a large variety of fragile eggs in different colors, patterns and size. A governess Bee-eater is committed to take care of this progeny from many other birds. The pale pink, ruffled clamshells are a reference to the divine. This scene is a symbol of altruism.

About DSVT collection: CNN: 'The men who turned taxidermy into strangely beguiling art.' Financial Times: 'The stuffed that dreams are made of.'
