My project builds a catalogue of the human actions and gestures connected to crualty to animals. Drawing on sign language, psychological behavioural research, but also dance and performance, I conducted a series of experiments based on the research on animal abuse and violent gestures. these gestures were compiled into a collection that was animateed and triggered in the video peiece, in response to the animal recordings.
