On 26 July, thousands of visitors to the Victoria & Albert (V&A) Museum in London were intrigued and delighted by the works on display by two Taiwanese artists as part of the museum’s renowned “Friday Late” event. The theme for their most recent event, “Pick of the Litter”, explored how our infatuation with pets has become part of a generational identity. Taiwanese choreographer and dancer Yu-hsien Wu performed her piece “Dirty PawS”, which focuses on the interconnected movements between animals and human beings. Meanwhile, Taiwanese bio-artist Kuang-yi Ku presented his exhibition “Pet’s Pettings”, which asked the question: are pets entitled to their own romantic lives, and does the concept of sexuality and sexual desire apply equally to pets as it does to humans?
