BUG 11: zZz’s Running With The Beast by Roel Wouters
A new kind of controversy at BUG with Roel Wouters' latest video for zZz - animal fighting.
With a nod to his previous, triumphant video/performance piece for the band's Grip it starts with an overhead shot over a rectangular area, and in its way Running With The Beast is another exhibition of physical expression to a creative end. But in this case, the viewer watches with discomfort: it looks bad (unless, of course, you have no problem with cock-fighting), but it's mesmerizing.
None of the several birds used in the video were harmed during its making - as you can see from the making-of film.
Although, who actually likes being doused in paint then forced to have a punch-up with your pals Not going to be turned into a Fiat Punto ad.
