What is On Taphonomy about?
A life dedicated to decay. Johannes Weigelt (1890–1948) was a palaeontologist, a dilettante photographer, a Nazi, all of it fervent. This essay is dedicated to the pioneer of taphonomy – sober and at the same time exciting in form. Three image fields are filled with changing content: black and white documents of fields of animal carcasses, a snapshot with Göring, text panels, artful photomontages. They all charge one another, containing a vibrantly shimmering biography fossilised in images. It blends documentary elements. The film reflects a distinct Netherlands style and perspective. The story is brought to life by director Ana Maria Gomes. With a runtime of 9 minutes, it offers a concise viewing experience.
