NEOZOON
The most recent found footage work of the collective NEOZOON consists of a collection of animated pictures (GIFs) showing trophy hunters in Africa shaking hands. The mutual congratulation following the killing of animals is a typical ritual among hunters around the world. A seemingly simple gesture that forms a central focus here and that also, given our increasing awareness about endangered species and the contradictions inherent to big game hunting, appears controversial and absurd in equal measure.
