Dressing up animals and placing them in a variety of situations is not a new concept.
Paris-born artistAnne-Catherine Becker-Echivard, uses market-fresh fish to create her wacky scenes.
After she is done photographing, she cooks and eats them.
It is the perfect recycling of art.
Nothing is left over - and I can live from it, she said.
No wonder, her family and friends thinks she is crazy.
Her scenes depicts surgeries, factories and TV interviews.
From early childhood, the little girl had no interest for dolls.
Instead, she played with animals, either living or dead.
She discovered the world of fish during her apprenticeship of fishing by the side of Normandy fishermen.
After that, she started using fish to make her dolls.
On arriving at my studio, I wash the fishes, scale them, and eviscerate them.
Then I keep the heads, and their body, pass to the pan.
Take the fishes in my factories for an example, they are in uniforms.
They are asexual and give a global message.
That is neither the condition of women nor the condition of men.
That is man, the human being, in general.
We are victims of our own evolution or of our own revolution.
We are the suffering conformists.
In my photography, I do not take a stab at present the good nor the bad.
Its never simply funny, laborious, happy, tender or hard.
There is always much tragic, sadness or sorrow in the comedy.
That is what touches me.
That is what I give a shot to translate.
