More information

In The Last Golden Frog, chimpanzees play a central role. They interact in the human tragedy, watching together with other living beings as the sun sets and the world gets colder. The Last Golden Frog is about the state of being threatened with extinction, trying to escape and protesting.
The images are a kind of fables and mythical stories with references to old photographs and a connection to our time.
