Who are we really?
Who has a soul?
Who are humans? Who are the animals?
Are humans the real animals? Or are animals the real humans?
Who behaves more morally, ethically, reasonably, and humanely – humans or animals?
Animals don’t wage wars of mass death and genocide.
Animals don’t lie.
Animals don’t kill without reason or for power, but for survival.
Animals don’t have weapons, soldiers, or armies.
Animals don’t come up with the idea of wiping out other species.
Animals don’t strategically deceive other animals to suppress them.
What does this mean for our self-image?
What really distinguishes humans from animals?
How much of what we perceive about animals and humans is based on objective facts – and how much is just a subjective viewpoint influenced by our culture, upbringing, and personal beliefs?
In Western countries, we consider dogs and cats as pets that we love and don’t eat. Livestock like cows, however, are mostly treated differently – as a food source. In India, cows are considered sacred animals in many Hindu traditions and are therefore treated with special respect. Why?
What of what you perceive about animals and humans is based on objective facts – and what is merely a culturally shaped or personal viewpoint? What truths do you consider 'normal' and why?
Have you ever really taken the time to ask yourself, reflected on it, and truly observed animals – and humans?

It is a virtual 3D online exhibition featuring numerous portraits of myself and animals, guiding the viewer on a unique journey of discovery.

Biography

Fabian Kochendoerfer

Fabian Kochendoerfer, a visionary in instant film art since 2000, unveils the truth through his distinctive style, developed over two decades.
“In my search for the truth and what is real, I scratch the surface and discover there is ‘nothing’ behind it. Now, I want to peel away the skin of reality, expose the matrix, and show that the world is nothing but an illusion,” he says.
“My art makes life worth living.”
A reminder of the universe’s abundant beauty, his work is both profound and awakening.
“The world is an illusion. Life is a dream. Wake up!” – Fabian Kochendoerfer.
He holds a diploma from the Merz Academy in Germany and a Master of Arts from the University of Portsmouth in England.
