Pretty Slaves in a Tank by Grisis Yu

I chose to shoot fish in the aquarium. The fish in the aquarium perform labor that is paid and unpaid. The fish produce labor by swimming in the aquarium, and their labor is used by human spectators for entertainment and education (learning about these fish and biodiversity in the ocean). The fish are paid in permanence, which is, they have a seemingly safe and fixed area or home, but at the same time they are considered unpaid labor, because the proceeds obtained through them (money from tickets, aquarium store related products etc.) are not exchanged for something of equal value or given directly as money to them. Moreover, when they are caught from the ocean without being asked in advance, they lose the freedom they once might have had, and in exchange are placed in a giant boxed place, in a human-simulated marine ecosystem for the rest of their lives.
