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; ‘LA VIE PERDU’ The head of an enormous black Marlin is the centerpiece of this Bacchanalian composition of fresh fruits and vegetables. The honourless ending of the mighty predator is also symbolized by the cut off bronze claw of an eagle in the right bottom corner. Meanwhile the smaller prey seem to celebrate a false victory.
