Ani’motion is short for animal emotion but the exhibition is not just about animals – it is also about us humans and the resemblances between human emotions and animals emotions.

By looking at the photographer’s work it seems like each animal wants to tell us something… Each their own story, their own emotion. The photographer’s intention is not only to showcase his work but also to strenghten the bond between humans and animals by showing us how “human” animals are.
