Artistic approach
Nafie Ben Krich, had been marked in his childhood by his father's henhouse. Every day he watched chickens piled into narrow crates, loaded, unloaded, and chickens force-fed and then slaughtered in large numbers. Their way of life, their short longevity and their passivity had obsessed him to the point of deciding to make it his artistic project.
The chicken, the fetish animal, is partially drawn, enclosed in its shell or even sculpted.
The problem of his work begins with the observation of the domestication of the animal to arrive at a broader observation which is the questioning of the role and influence of the environment in the subjugation of the individual.
What is the objective of man in taming the other? Since prehistory, and more precisely from the Neolithic, man has practiced this activity of domestication with respect to animals and this activity has developed with the evolution of our civilizational societies so that it becomes , in a certain way, a human practice on the individual, which serves a certain part of society, but which ultimately is not at the service of humanity, a practice which allows reflections and behaviors to be manipulated people.
