Animals Are Outside Today examines how animals are woven through the fabric of culture, seeking to draw out contradictions that have shaped our relationships with animals throughout history. It investigates how animals provide intangible links to a deeper world of instinct and rawness. Our connection to animals today is often developed through assimilation and appropriation; we absorb them into our lives, yet their origins are unknown. Most people are cut off from their processing or acquisition, shielded from witnessing death or decay. This work moves within these contradictions, always questioning if the notion of sacred will survive alongside our evolution.
