In the midst of a technological and urban revolution, animalism took over our cities. First discreetly, then guerrilla-style, and now as a declared open war. This animalism took over the political discourse and specifically the space of civil laws, reaching its apex when animals started to be considered “…living beings endowed with sensitivity and legal protections by virtue of their nature”.
Despite the animal world’s apparent victory, this victory is not for all. Equality granted by the republic still only applies to humans. The new law is clearly aimed at pets. The others will have to keep surviving as they can, in this way of being so “homo sapiens” that is hypocrisy. There are more subtle ways to name the issue. Some call it “the paradox of the flesh”, others explain the phenomenon with the concept of cognitive dissonance.
This project was shown at chumbo,between 22nd November to the 31st of December 2021.
