TRACK TWO: song for the fate of animals from Tommy Becker on Vimeo.

“What is man without the beasts? If all the beasts were gone, man would die from a great loneliness of the spirit. For whatever happens to the beasts, soon happens to man. All things are connected.” ~ Chief Seattle

Track Number Two: song for the fate of animals | 2min 10sec | DV | 2003
Track Number Two is a celebration of the wild. It’s a war chant heard bellowing from the mouths of animals as they march, fly and slither down the streets in protest. Images of the untamable flash across the screen as a stream of consciousness unfolds. A recited mantra drives the pack to the beating of tribal drums. Titled after one of his paintings, “song for the fate of animals” is dedicated to Franz Marc, an artist who expressed so much beauty before witnessing so much death.
