Description
Summary:I explore four different interspecies relations of human beings, to companion animals. More specifically, to cats and dogs. When humans and animals live together, share space and share common worlds, a kind of attunement happens that can be called a 'becoming with'. I asked the question whether this contact with companion species provides something different than what is available through human-human interaction, and if so, whether it could have to do with touch. Central to this question is also to explore a kind of attunement as a filmmaker to both human and animal protagonists that happens through my own filmmaking process and the specific kind of 'becoming with' that this leads to.
