"Our intention is to raise awareness for the creatures in a way that comes from the perspective of empathy, collective consciousness, and archaic communication. There is no clear borderline between human and animal. The borderline becomes more and more an ethical question."
- Andrea Sunder-Plassmann & Houmehr Etminani (curators)
