while dog shows garner widespread and universal popularity among owners and enthusiasts alike, the world of guinea pig clubs remains elusive and a bit bizarre to most everyday people. isabel + helen, a creative partnership based in london, takes a humorous look at cavy clubs in the UK, where guinea pig possessors exhibit their animals and win trophies for the breed. for the photographic series ‘pig or wig’, isabel + helen make the viewer decide if they’re looking at the carefully combed locks of cavy, or a synthetic hairpiece made for humans.
