Nature Unmotifs – Short films from AV-Arkki collection
This collection of single channels short films presents multiple questions about human’s relationship and actions with the other and how aware our species might be of these relations. From various perspectives, all the works include certain attempts to belong. This belonging seems to escape everything but intuition.
