Colleen Plumb has Animals Are Outside Today, a meditation on the relationship of humans and animals, it could improve, though we rarely think about it. It accompanies a stunning video work Thirty Times a Minute.

It documents a display of mental illness in elephants only found in captivity. It manifests as rhythmic walking, pacing, rocking or trunk motion. Our human treatment of these animals in almost every case, poaching, breaking family units for relocation, zoos and circuses is a crime.
