MY BBY 8L3W
NEOZOON
Independent of one another, thirty women present themselves and their beloved pets in selfie poses on the internet. They declare their love for the animals as enthusiastically as they hug, kiss and cuddle them. Since all the women use the same vocabulary as if rehearsed, their utterances swell into a chorus of meaninglessness. Made up of an acronym for My Baby 8 Letters 3 Words, the title means in effect »My baby, I love you.« The unconditionally loved ones in this found-footage are the animals, make no mistake!
NEOZOON
NEOZOON is a female artists’ collective founded in 2009 in Berlin and Paris. The group’s works use the principle of collage, looking at sociological questions about the relationship between humans and animals. Their video films come up with endless new and unexpected contexts for found footage and YouTube material. Their works have appeared at the Centre Pompidou in Paris as well as at many national and international film festivals.
