BEX HAYTER CREATIVE

This is a short film I created and showcased at my grad exhibition in 2016. It was part of the exhibition that I produced along with my thesis titled: "Making Visual, Through Glass, Ceramics, and Resin, the Cruelty Inflicted on Chickens in Intensive Livestock Production". The film is all my own footage I took at a local dairy farm in Addo. It is my aim at exposing and emphasising the repetition and seemingly invite cycle of dairy farming.

​

The purpose of the document is to expose, educate, and propose solutions to the problem of intensive livestock production. Although the research intends expose the cruelty inflicted on all livestock animals in factory farming, it focuses on the treatment of chickens. Furthermore, the document explores how I attempted to make this treatment visual through means of glass and ceramics in the realm of fine arts. The document’s overriding purpose is to provide the reader with the realization of the cruelty involved in the deplorable system of livestock factory farming.
