Synthetic Blood on Leopard Skin is an artist text based on the works 'Heart Lines' and 'Leopard, Impala' that forms a book chapter in 'The Empire Remains Shop' by Cooking Sections (Daniel Fernández Pascual & Alon Schwabe) published by Columbia Books on Architecture and the City.

In Leopard, Impala historical taxidermy was taken from the Royal Museum for Central Africa in Tervuren, Belgium to be X-ray’d in a local hospital. The steel structures uncovered inside the scene of a leopard killing an impala are recreated in rare earth neon, mammoth ivory and natural rubber; reconstructing an imaginary choreography between two animal skins in materials of contemporary mining practices.
