ABOUT THE MOVIE

Animals from Eastern Europe for the Italian food/meat industry used to be transported to the towns along the state border in Northeast Italy. From those conveyor-belt spaces of death, only one animal managed to come in and out alive.

Igor Grubić

Igor Grubić (1969) has been active as a multimedia artist since the early 1990s. His work includes site-specific interventions in public spaces, photography, and film. He represented Croatia at the 58th Venice Biennale. His critical, socio-politically committed practice is characterized by long-term engagement, his work focusing on past and present political situations, from an in-depth exploration of the fate of historical monuments and the demise of industry to the examination of the predicament of minority communities. Though grounded in documentarist tradition, his work in photography and film is characterized by an affective and empathetic approach that is deeply humane and often poetic. His work has been exhibited internationally, receiving several awards.
