Seeing the Nonhuman: The Gaze of Animals, Objects, and Ghosts
When we grow used to understanding the world from a human position, many subtle yet persistent forms of existence fall outside our field of vision. This program turns the camera toward dogs, abandoned spaces, plants, mythical creatures, machines, objects, and natural elements, allowing them to occupy the center of the narrative and reframe how we think about perception, memory, and reality.
What these films explore is not only the nonhuman itself, but also how human life is revealed through nonhuman gazes: ruins echo back, plants find a voice, rails and metal leave a tactile trace, and wind, water, and light sketch out another order in the dark. Through these works, we hope to loosen habitual ways of seeing and let the world appear both larger and stranger.
