Every year, a small number of these farm animals, which are used for human purposes, manage to escape their fate. This work was created at Hof Butenland, a farm that took the bold step of abandoning livestock farming a long time ago and now takes in these very animals to protect them from further exploitation and enable them to live in a manner appropriate to their species.
First and foremost, the work provides insight into the history of the animals and the freedom they have gained. This enables a change of perspective and creates space to question how we treat farm animals today. The aim is to create a connection between humans and animals that provides access to the beauty, value, and individuality of animals.
Dann kam alles anders
Dann kam alles anders’ (‘Then Everything Changed’) portrays animals that usually only reach a fraction of their natural life expectancy and often live isolated from the outside world.
