Collective Red 1998

"Collective Red" (1998) by Arsen Savadov is a striking photograph that depicts a man dressed in a traditional matador outfit standing in a slaughterhouse. The floor is covered in blood, and a slaughtered pig hangs in the background, creating a jarring contrast between the grandeur of the matador's attire and the brutality of the scene. Savadov's work often explores themes of violence, power, and the human condition, using stark imagery to provoke thought and discussion. This photograph, with its powerful symbolism and disturbing subject matter, invites viewers to confront the realities of humanity's relationship with animals and the consequences of our actions.
