Get a taste of Diana Thater's large-scale video installation at After Darwin: Contemporary Expressions exhibition.

Witness the gorillas playing and interacting at the Cameroon rescue centre. Gain insights into their emotions and expressive behaviour. They are all survivors of the illegal trade in bush meat in Cameroon.

The scene in the video clip was filmed at the Mefou National Park in October 2008. The gorillas are from the nursery group at the Cameroon sanctuary.

Diana Thater uses film to question human relationships with animals. Her video installation is projected across the walls of the exhibition space. 

The artist lives in Los Angeles.
