Little Lower Than the Angels

NEOZOON Tribute

This found-footage film explores the relationship between religion and speciesism, focusing on creationist beliefs that place humanity at the undisputed pinnacle of existence. By weaving together historical and contemporary religious imagery with YouTube evangelists, the film critically examines anthropocentric worldviews and questions their rationality. The collage moves between old and new visual worlds, exposing the contradictions in the human claim to divine superiority.

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.
