BLOOD-RELATED

2020 · 4K video · color · sound · English spoken, English subtitles

In livestock farming the blood of slaughtered cows becomes either a hidden component of products ranging from pharmaceuticals to soy substitutes, or it gets discarded, dried and burned for energy. Following this invisible trail of blood, the film investigates the architecture and tools that determine the value of a material once considered the substance of life.

In collaboration with Basse Stittgen.
