Soul Food

This is not about promoting being vegetarian. Let's just say, we believe in evolution. Is there a valid reason to not eat humans but animals? While in Holy Communion we receive the body of Christ. And in mass livestock farming, pigs feed on other pigs. Do animals have souls, too? Like dogs and cats named Alvin and Lisa that can also sometimes be the closest friends that we have. What is the difference to a pig? Or to a cow? Or to a chicken? Let's just say, animals might have some sort of consciousness, maybe even some sort of soul. Then what happens when you eat an animal? Is it what some cannibals believe: that strength, traits and character are transferred to the eater? And to what extent does it make you an animal yourself? To what extent can we love and loose control – and still staying who we are? The video work „Soul Food" explores these questions.
