These donkeys are painted on printed screenshots of ejiao ads. Donkey-hide gelatin or ass-hide glue is gelatin obtained from the skin of the donkey by soaking and stewing. It is used as an ingredient in the traditional medicine of China, where it is called ejiao. Around 5 million donkeys per year are slaughtered for this product. I stumbled upon the information, read more and more about it and could not let it go. So these are a bit more obviously activist than what you are used to in my work.
