Piece: 7 units a week ... well, maybe just a drop more ... /red wine flask by Katrine Borup.Wine-coloured mouths of balloons, two complete balloons, corks, red leather string, silver. 2013.My worst visions of a stomach suffering the effects of too much red wine – spongy and full of holes. Two complete balloons have been inserted into the stomach to mark the transitions to, respectively, the oesophagus and the intestines, and the size and shape of the stomach is approximately correct. This piece of jewellery is worn on the body like a waist pack, so that the container is located on top of the actual stomach on the left side of the body, directly underneath the ribs. The wearer can fill the two balloons with a liquid according to preference (and conscience). . . The red X on the back acts as a ‘NO’ mark. .
