Action "Conversation with fish", on the occasion of the summer festival of the Thurgau Cultural Foundation at the Shed Eisenwerk Frauenfeld on June 26, 2010. The scene: a table set for five people. In the center of the table is an aquarium. Five fish (perch or perch or chretzter) swim in it. The audience sits around the table. The action: Five invited guests arrive. The host (Max Bottini) moderates the event. He hands out menus. The menu: Whole baked perch with homemade herb mayonnaise, boiled potatoes and a colorful leaf salad. The presentation focuses on the core concern of the campaign: if you want to eat fish (in an aquarium), you have to kill it yourself. The method of killing the fish is illustrated in words and pictures on the menu. The guests are completely free to decide how they want to proceed. They can leave the table or stay and not eat any fish. In the event that they do want to eat fish, a hooded executioner is on hand to carry out the act of killing. Max Bottini, February 2022
