Found this book at the Salone del Mobile few weeks ago. Christien Meindertsma has spent the last three years researching all the products made from a single pig. Amongst some of the more unexpected results were: Ammunition, medicine, photo paper, heart valves, brakes, chewing gum, porcelain, cosmetics, cigarettes, conditioner and even bio diesel.
Meindertsma makes the subject more approachable by reducing everything to the scale of one animal. After it’s death, Pig number 05049 was shipped in parts throughout the world. Some products remain close to their original form and function while others diverge dramatically. In an almost surgical way a pig is dissected in the pages of the book – resulting in a startling photo book where all the products are shown at their true scale (1:1).

A great article, about how we might actually do better as a society, if schooling was taking away.

Our fellow editor Jean went and talked with the Bamboo Shoots this weekend. Photos by Samuel Peltz in New York City.
Can you guys introduce yourselves as a band?
Karl (bass/vocals), Ankur (beats, synths, percussion), Shiv (drums), Ahmed (guitars/synths), and Avir (guitars/vocals).
What is the story behind the name of Bamboo Shoots?
In the mid nineties, Ahmed survived on a diet of raw Bamboo Shoots. He was lost in the jungle at the time. It was a rough period in his life, he cries a lot just thinking about it.
When did you form your band? What inspired you to make music together? How long have you all known each other? How did you meet?
Avir: Karl, and I have been playing music together since we were little kids. We met Shiv while he was at NYU. Then we met Ankur when he stopped by my house during a practice. We met Ahmed at Karl’s birthday party. It was all very random. We’ve been a band since 2004.
How would you guys describe your music? Who are your influences?
We don’t describe our music, we just play it. I think anything can be an influence if you’re listening right. That and Michael Jackson.
