In Pain Thing, the Polish "expert in forgery", Robert Kuśmirowski addresses the former presence of a veterinary clinic that frequently performed tests on animals in the project's site
The installation is on the Polska Arts in Edinburgh programme, and it is shown between the 2nd and 27th of August as part of the 2012 Edinburgh Art Festival. Robert Kuśmirowski states:
The veneer of paint used in the project should both distract attention from the problem and expose emotions inherent in it. Pain Thing has a double meaning, in that the description of suffering plays with the 'pain-ting' practice which conceals it.
