1,164 Cows<\/h2>\n

Cyanotype Animation on Watercolour Paper <\/em>
\n1,164 seconds | 1,164 frames<\/em><\/p>\n

For over a century, gelatine created from cow bones has been considered required for analogue photography, specifically the silver gelatine process. In fact, still to this day there are no film-stocks on the market that do not contain bovine gelatine. Zero<\/em> alternatives. As a result, consumer film last year alone was estimated to need 1,164 cows for production.<\/p>\n

Through an installation of cyanotype imagery, sound, and material from the Swedish Kosl\u00e4pp, the work 1,164 Cows<\/em> invites a closer look at our relationship to cows today, calling attention to how nonhuman animal products are unconsciously used in our daily lives, often hidden or simply justified as \u201cby-products\u201d by those in the industry.<\/p>\n

Each cyanotype coated and exposed for the animation is in honour of the 1,164 sentient beings who lost their life in 2025 to bind a gelatinous image onto a roll of film.<\/p>\n
