Il tempo negato

Why and how do we look at animals? Is it possible to use archive materials as if they were the involuntary testimony of a gaze? Archiving is, in some ways, the act of collecting gestures. Through the editing of fragments of documentaries, newsreels, and promotional videos, the film aims to make visible the complexity and stratification of a relationship that the more we consider natural and given, the more it reveals itself to be the product of economic and political—and therefore cultural—processes analogous to the human world.
