Animals
Bulgarie
2013
The “Animals” series is a reflection about man and animality. “The human desire to oppose and look for a “fair” place between Heaven and the Earth has certainly led to the birth of cynicism, aggressiveness, impudence. Being equal or “more equal than the others” probably created a conventional separation between abundance and shortage, between the rich and the poor, between the “I” and the others, between men and animals. Vladimir Vasilev highlights the question of the influence of the human being on the planet. Is man still able to create principles, rules of life for everybody, and to follow them?
