R.A.N.G.O.
 
Single-channel HD video
(03:41mins looped)
(2018)
 
R.A.N.G.O. is a single-channel video installation. The video depicts a chameleon, filmed on a set of artificial foliage against a green-screen backdrop. The chameleon was hired from AmeyZoo – a casting agency that supplies live animals and reptiles for use in film, television, advertising, music videos and nature documentaries.
 
Alongside starring roles in advertisements (incl. Dulux, Budweiser, Accenture), ‘Rango’ previously featured in nature documentaries produced for the BBC, ITV and the Discovery Channel, where he was used to obtain close-up shots and to recreate ostensibly ‘authentic’ action sequences within a studio environment.
