„Eye to Eye“ witnesses countless wordless dialogues between non-human and human animals, with the artist behind the camera serving as the point of contact. At times, a reflection of her can be detected in the animal‘s eye and then disappears again. The lack of a telephoto lens forced the artist to approach the animals at a distance of 40 cm.
The trust between the species, built up over weeks, serves as a basis that resonates at all times. Based on Donna Haraway‘s concept of multispecism as a vision for the survival of our planet, the video pays respect to other animal species that the human animal has denied them for so long.
