The Hunter of City Animals
net.project
BY MARIA BEROVA
A different aspect of the parallel lives in the city can be seen in maria
Berova’s web project. In “Hunter of City Animals” the energetic advertisements
announce, “They are strong and brave.”, and so on – i.e. as if taken out of
any Saturday night action movie on TV. And at the same time the shots display
the panic-stricken subject of advertising and the hunter: a shaggy dog is
running, tail between its legs, to hide, a terrified cat is tiptoeing away…
The constant and unresolvable problem of the city – stray animals, an issue
every now and then igniting society, dividing it and authorities for and against.
And so on and so on…
