Technological advances and cultural development have disrupted the balance between humankind and other animals. Instead of looking at similarities, we focus on differences. Coexistence has been replaced by dominance. We have forgotten that we live in a house that does not belong only to us. However, the ties between humans and other inhabitants of the animal kingdom have not been irreversibly broken. In his visual essay, which is both intimate and philosophical, Alessandro Cattaneo focuses specifically on those things that connect us. The statements of thinkers and idyllic shots of interspecies interactions indicate that if we change the way in which we think about animals, it will be beneficial for the entire ecosystem.

A one-of-a-kind cinematographic experiment. A grotesque fairy tale, staged in the real lives of the characters. A completely self-produced movie, designed and directed by two visual artists, with the purpose of telling the tale of Artaserse, a retired worker, boxer, trainer and life-long painter. Everything is staged in an industrial, now decadent Terni; like a steel bay without the sea, here it's difficult to dream about becoming an artist. This movie is like a suburban western movie; the boxer and the painting dancing the communal square dance together, in life and death, the meeting-match between Artaserse and an allegorical and remorseless art world, and more generically, the battle of all the colorful characters, appearing throughout.

Commissioned for Art in Romney Marsh, "With Silver Bells" dives into Whitebread’s past and present interactions with nature using photograms and both her and her mother’s video footage to try and grasp how we as humans can rethink our interactions with non-humans. The work was created during Whitebread’s self-initiated residency on the Marsh, a place that she often returns to in her work both physically and mentally. Heavily influenced by Derek Jarman’s writings on gardening, Whitebread tries to open up a wider discourse on our role as humans on planet Earth. The film is an experimental video focused on unhinging our commonplace connections between language, images and perceptions of nature by exploring her own sensual and somatic feelings towards the Marsh, experiencing the geography as an important site of creative and ecological insight. Using photograms as a tool enables the artist to play with slow/non-human time and to imagine her own ecological existence.
