CREATURE CATALOGUE — Naturalisation (I)

Short film experiment 4’ (2023)

Creature Catalogue — Naturalisation (I) is part of an ongoing artistic research interrogating a shared heritage between documentary filmmaking and taxidermy.

Both practices are obsessed with collecting and staging realities and with questions of representation, realism, naturalism. They share an intimate kinship and a common ancestry as well as fundamental problems relating to those same issues historically as well as in the present.

Naturalisation here means a) consignation into archive, b) adaptation of a species to a region where it is not indigenous, and c) the act of causing something to appear natural.
