'This is one of those things you come across and just have to blink a couple times and ask, “is this real?”. In fact it is'

An artist named Guillermo Habacuc Vargas has displayed a stray dog as a work of art at the Bienal Centroamericana Honduras 2008. He chained the dog up leaving it just out of reach of a bowl of dog food, and asked people not to feed it. It starved to death during the exhibition as visitors observed the grotesque 'installation'.
