Le Taxidermiste Trailer (2013)
Trailer for the documentary Le Taxidermiste. Working from his ramshackle home studio in rural France, taxidermist Jacques Gilbert breathes new life into dead skin – transforming plaster, metal and flesh into eerily lifelike sculptured animals. From improvising his first animal at the age of 12 through to the realities of working surrounded by death, Jacques offers a fascinating insight into his life and passion for this often misunderstood craft.
