Lake of Fire
Director
Biting the Dust
Director
Found-footage film about the Christian idea of afterlife & the question which living beings go to heaven. It opens the view on contradictory social & religious imagery & thematizes how social networks increasingly push ideas of a dazzeling afterlife.
FragMANts
Producer
Karl Marx calls commodity fetish in his main work Capital the quasi-religious material relationship to products that people produce for each other in division of labour or social work. The term fetish is used to describe the attribution of qualities or powers to things that they do not possess by nature. Already in Marx' time the term fetish was used primarily in connection with animistic religions. The people in the video Fragmants worship their consumer goods like religious cult objects. The religion venerated here is that of capitalism, which reveals itself to be superficial and meaningless. The believers of this religion are only uprooted fragments of themselves.

Little Lower Than the Angels
Director
Iconoclasm is at the core of all Neozoon’s work, but never more explicitly than in Little Lower Than the Angels. Here they apply the musicality and pattern recognition of their previous work to the memeification of Christianity in America, drawing specifically on ideas surrounding man’s bestial nature and attempts to transcend towards spiritual dominion.
Love Goes Through the Stomach
Director
The found footage film "Love goes through your stomach" is dedicated to nutrition and the human relationship to "production animals“. The collage provides disturbing insights into the behavior of a western affluent society between a lack of appreciation and the origin of animal products. The starting material of the film collage is from youtube and serves different internet phenomena such as ASMR, Mukbang and Lets Play Videos. The experimental narrative perspective and precise picture selection are both humorous and bitterly true, pointing out destructive aspects of global consumer behavior.
MY BBY 8L3W
Director
Overly cutesy collage of YouTube videos in which women overenthusiastically introduce their pets to the world. They all openly declare their love of their pedigree dogs and cats. The relationship between people and animals in current society is a recurring theme in the work of women's art collective Neozoon.
Unboxing Eden
Director
Unboxing Eden is a YouTube collage about snake breeders and their animals. The video documents the arrival, the breeding and the handling of snakes in all shapes and sizes.
Buck Fever
Director
Made by a collective of German and French artists involved in the defense of animals, "Buck Fever" uses a collage of YouTube videos with hunting footage to document the tension felt before and after the hunt.
