A dreamlike yet analytical exploration of convergences between humans and animals in the city.
Guided by a dream that he cannot fully recall, Galay explores the relationship between institutions, cities and the natural world in this delicate, non-linear film. By night and half-light, he maps Buenos Aires through university labs, museums and zoos. Interviews with scientists about consciousness, perception and memory alternate with footage of animals and their activities, disrupting human-centred perspectives, while proposing alternative forms of intelligence and resonances between species.
Though guided by science, the film foregrounds intuition, the sonic and the sensorial as crucial ways of constructing knowledge. Fragments from Galay’s research diaries are woven throughout the work, creating further dialogue between personal, collective and ineffable viewpoints. A sound design that layers music, diegetic sound and field recordings shapes our experience of the film into an act of listening as much as looking.
