The project reimagines Jewish rituals by attempting to make a pig kosher, creating an oxymoron that contrasts sacred forms with deliberately non-kosher elements. Inspired by Peter Shaffer’s Equus, Seder explores whether it is possible to achieve holiness or sacredness outside the bounds of religious doctrine.
Through unconventional means, such as using a kosher slaughter knife for pork, Seder seeks to subvert the religious weight of traditional symbols and forms. By blending the sacred with the mundane in provocative ways, the project invites a reconsideration of how sacredness can be defined and experienced beyond established religious framework
