How can we remember or envision animals that died out? The unique zoological collection of the Martin-Luther University in Halle provides the option to look history and animals in the (glass) eye. The collection is still expanding. By following taxidermists and entomologists at work, the film reveals the transformation of insects and mammals into specimens for the zoological collection.
Pim Zwier lives and works in Amsterdam as a filmmaker and video artist.
