HUMAN ANIMAL (part I)

2007-2009

Are people animals? Questions about behaviours, cultivation and whole civilisation initiated the search to find the division between humans and animals. Considering religious and cultural perspectives the project reflects upon how the animal role is portrayed throughout the history of art. Carefully fumbling down paths amongst good and evil, animal and human life appear to be the same. As darkness falls I find myself inside a lion’s den wrapped in the strong smell of fur.
