Buck Fever

The heads of exquisite corpses assembled from YouTube videos enthusiastically share their so-called success stories. This polyphonic montage of self-obsession and relentless competitiveness is contextualised by fragments from 1950s documentaries, when the normalisation of productivity, progress and individualism was in full swing.

Karl Marx calls commodity fetish in his main work Capital the quasi-religious material relationship to products that people produce for each other in division of labour or social work. The term fetish is used to describe the attribution of qualities or powers to things that they do not possess by nature. Already in Marx' time the term fetish was used primarily in connection with animistic religions. The people in the video Fragmants worship their consumer goods like religious cult objects.

In the found-footage film JUGGERNAUT, men from YouTube archives take center stage. They participate in an endless competition for the title of "THE BEST."

GOOD BOY - BAD BOY is a found footage film shot by individuals and focusing on the training of domestic animals, one of the most popular topics on YouTube. What at first glance may be perceived as endearing (Good Boy) turns out to be the result of a series of excessive and degrading punishments to which these animals are subjected, completely at the mercy of their owner (Bad Boy). This semblance of harmony can be perceived—from the pet's perspective—as the result of a systemic incompatibility.

Iconoclasm is at the core of all Neozoon’s work, but never more explicitly than in Little Lower Than the Angels. Here they apply the musicality and pattern recognition of their previous work to the memeification of Christianity in America, drawing specifically on ideas surrounding man’s bestial nature and attempts to transcend towards spiritual dominion.

The fear of death can only be conquered if people believe in a powerful savior — otherwise eternal damnation in hell is waiting. The documentary found footage collage "Lake of Fire" shows that the dualistic view and way of life of those believers additionally fuels the climate change — related "hell on earth" in a dangerous way.
