Video Performance in Fulldome Format for Planetarium. Video Performance. Exhibited in the Fulldome International Festival in Jena, Germany in 2011 and in the International Festival of Digital Culture 2011 in the Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro (MAM Rio).

It is a recreation of an aquarium where the only animal that lives inside the fish tank is a human being. In this case, myself, representing different kinds of marine animals. The film could be seen as activism for animal rights. I think aesthetically, fish tanks and aquariums look very pretty. But the trapped fish and marine mammals look so sad in there, not to mention the cruelty of the way they’re treated. Why do we go to aquariums to see animals forced to swim around us and do tricks just to entertain us, if we can portray humans instead?

No animals were harmed during the creation of this film.
