This made me stop and look. I think, with all my love of stuffed animals and rabbit photos, that this I do not like at all.

The curators want me to be shocked. From The Vine:

"Tourists wandering through Sydney's streets today might wonder if the city has gone slightly mad. In fact these works are part of the 16th Biennale of Sydney, which has filled seven venues with art from more than 180 contemporary artists from around the world.

If viewers are confused, the Biennale's artistic director, Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, will have succeeded. "I was looking for artworks I don't fully understand, art that raises more questions than it answers," she said. 'It is when we are confused that our minds start to work.' 

This year's theme, Revolutions - Forms That Turn, urges artists to rebel. The stuffed horse is a 1999 work by the Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan. Christov-Bakargiev sees the stiff horse as a metaphor for thwarted revolution.

'At certain historical periods there is always a moment of social despair where people are no longer able to tolerate the pain and hardship of their times,' she said. 'I think we are at a stage where the world has to invent new political systems to protect the weak in society due to the great inequalities that globalisation has caused.' "
