ONE PIG is the story of one anonymous farm animal on its journey from birth to plate. Matthew Herbert was literally there, microphone in hand, as the pig was born. And Herbert continued to document its life in audio as the pig grew to adulthood and then, after its death, as it was butchered, cooked, eaten and made into a series of unexpected objects.
This is a beautiful elegy to an under-appreciated and often unacknowledged animal, whose complex relationship to humans is often ignored.
