Animal Kingdom is Steve Reinke's alternative to a television show.
It has comedy skits, musical interludes, and little animated aphorisms
that act as commercials or bumpers. Reinke parodies, analyses and plays
out the narratives and imagery employed in mass culture—while
never appearing to take any of it seriously. Moving through the most
banal forms of film and video imagery and the most exalted, collapsing
the boundaries between documentary and fiction, Reinke creates a kind
of shrine to a loss of the self on representation. (Argos Distributor)
