Love Goes through the Stomach
The found-footage film Love Goes Through the Stomach explores nutrition and the human relationship with “production animals.” Using YouTube material from ASMR, Mukbang, and Let’s Play videos, the collage reflects on the contradictions of Western consumer society. With a carefully curated selection of images and an experimental narrative approach, the film offers both humorous and critical perspectives on global consumption habits.

NEOZOON
NEOZOON is a female art collective founded in 2009 in Berlin and Paris. Their work is based on the principle of collage and investigates sociological questions relating to speciesism in the Anthropocene. A recurring element in their videos is the de- and recontextualization of found footage and YouTube material.
NEOZOON’s work has been exhibited at, among other places, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, ZKM in Karlsruhe, and Kunstwerke Berlin and has been shown at national and international film festivals in Oberhausen, Rotterdam, Locarno, and New York.
