A species’ habitat is those places where it can find food, shelter, protection and mates for reproduction.
98% of the meat consumed in Germany comes from factory farming. Although we don’t see the places in which animals are being processed into food – it’s where the majority of meat, egg and cheese products come from. The series „Habitat“ is composed of exterior photographs shown beside a selection of satellite images gathered online, both depicting factory farms in Germany.
These industrialized places are often owned by large corporations, and operate with enormous capacity. They are strategically located out of sight from our cities, and as such, consumers are not able to visualize the origin of their meal. Responsibility of death is erased.
This series hopes to shed light on the realities of factory farming and helps to bring more consciousness to our decisions about the food we put on our plates.
Deutsche Version:
Habitat [ Ha·bi·tat ]
Das Habitat ist der Lebensraum einer Spezies, an dem sie Nahrung, Schutz und Partner*innen zur Fortpflanzung findet.
98% des in Deutschland konsumierten Fleisches wird aus Massentierhaltung bezogen. Auch wenn wir die Fabriken, in denen Tiere zu Essen verarbeitet werden, nicht zu sehen bekommen, wird dort der Großteil des konsumierten Fleisches, der Eier und der Milchprodukte erzeugt. Die Serie „Habitat“ zeigt neben Außenaufnahmen auch eine Auswahl von online erfassten Satellitenbildern von Tierfabriken.
Diese industrialisierten Betriebe werden oft von Großunternehmen betrieben und operieren mit enormen Kapazitäten. Strategisch günstig und außer Sichtweite der Städte gelegen, geht den Verbrauchern die Möglichkeit verloren, sich ein Bild der Herkunft ihres Essens zu machen. Die Verantwortlichkeit für Tod geht verloren.
Ziel der Serie ist es, die Wirklichkeit der Massentierhaltung und der industriellen Tierhaltungsbetriebe ans Licht zu bringen. Dies soll helfen, mehr Bewusstsein in unsere Entscheidungen zu bringen, wenn es darum geht, welches Essen auf unseren Tellern landet.
