"The Holy Pig of Berlin" resides in Genoa. As in many other Italian cities, saints are omnipresent there. Many houses have niches with votives, so-called Edicole Votive. However, Nina Staehli did not place her pig in one of these niches, but built her own place of pilgrimage. In this context, she herself will sit and collect and fulfill people's wishes. The uncanny quality inherent in every encounter with the saint is underscored by the artist's performative presence.
