Animal Macula is the result of a profound archaeological study of the representation of animals in world cinema over the past 125 years. Drawing on the bulk of this sometimes memorable, sometimes forgotten body of work, Sylvain L'Espérance provides a careful compilation that highlights the complex, troubled and often violent relationship between humans and animals. The masterful editing presents a vast web imbued with meaning, letting the images speak for themselves and interact freely with one another.
