SOUNDBITE: (English), Michael Hue-Williams, Director of Albion Gallery, London, UK: "Tattooing has a history of being considered an art form, and this is just an extension of an idea that exists already in a very particular way. Wim has created something entirely new and I've seen their finished works shown in museums and in galleries all over the world and yes, it's definitely considered an art form." 24. Various of tattooed pigs eating 33. SOUNDBITE: (English) Wim Delvoye, Belgian Artist: "In China, the pigs mean also a lot of positive things, happiness, fertility, wealth, luckiness, so pigs mean a lot of positive things here." 34. Close-up pig in pen LEAD IN: In the Chinese zodiac, pigs symbolise character traits such as diligence, compassion and generosity. And now a farm on the outskirts of Beijing is transforming pigs into art forms. But first the pigs must be decorated with elaborate tattoos. STORYLINE: These pigs on the Beijing Art Farm, 60 kilometres (37 miles) east of Beijing in Shun Yi District, look pretty content. They are well fed, their enclosures are air conditioned in summer and heated in winter. The dozen or so pigs are washed twice a day and fed organic food. But the purpose of raising the animals is not for their meat, but for their skin. The pigs get their first tattoos when they are two months old. Since the animals naturally grow very quickly, new tattoos are added to their bodies every two to three weeks. Yang Wei-Ping is one of the tattoo artists involved in the project. She comes here three times a week to both draw and shade tattoos onto the pigs. She says the skills required are exactly the same as when tattooing a human. The pigs are given an anaesthetic injection before the work starts. However, it often still takes a few workers to keep the animal still while the artist is at work. The tattoo artists favour pig skin because of its pale colour. However pigs are as much in danger of sunburn as humans, so farm workers are careful to smother the animals in plenty of sun block.
