Synopsis
In this multimedia installation, the audience journeys through the fantasies that fuel dehumanisation, discrimination, and other forms of Othering. A psychoanalyst invites a forest to recount things it has witnessed, taking the points of view of different subjects.
The experience of Othering combines repulsion and the enjoyment that the Other is imagined to horde. It is this enjoyment that the film engages with.
We paint several Othering fantasies that brutally sustain identities, industries and hierarchies. Notably, many scenes are informed by the administration of animals in colonial Singapore.
Dialogue is primarily communicated through wildlife sounds. The warbles, whines, growls and creaks provide a sonic mirror of the living feelings we are capable of creating, disregarding, and exploiting.
