fake your animal is a project about the relationship between man and the other animal species.
more then ever, today this relationship through faking and/or emulation forms, across extreme forms of love, opportunism, complicity, hate: we love them, we eat them, we bring up and we fear them.
today, as in the throughout of history.
from this point of view man has not changed, he is "animal" in a relationship between animals.
by the virtue of his superior intelligence, man has also built some fictions with which, since the down of times, has recalled or exorcised, or simple represented the animal beings.
we are sorrounded, we live with these shapes, these representations, sometimes losing sight of some slight or wide contraddictions.
"fake your animal" explore this.
as some other projects will remain open, in progress.
i spent months, slowly, using a slow medium (film), to convey this idea of connection and separation between us and our animal cousins, and every day i still discover something that might help me to say what i think.
