\nI want people to assume that there was a performance. And that the performance was carefully planed, every aspect exactly controlled. I want people to question; what is really going on here? Who is being manipulated? I can\u2019t ask that effectively without \u2018emotional content\u2019. So it is important to include the element of cruelty. This is quite deliberate.<\/p>\n
\nLike the news, I don\u2019t experience the events, only the images at a distance. I consider reality in the media questionable. When observing things second hand like this it has become difficult to tell what is made up and what is \u2018honest observation\u2019.<\/p>\n
\nIf they were chickens would it be more politically topical? Crows are not used in any kind of farming as far as I know and as such are not usually seen under these conditions. Nor are they usually participants in performances. There is no \u2018release\u2019 in farming.<\/p>\n![\"Teoman](\"https:\/\/uuk.kxe.temporary.site\/website_0e10ecbc\/book\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Render_frames.jpg\" "\\"Render_frames\\"")
