A wordless essay, presented in a suite of master shots, offering glimpses of animal societies in motion. Moments of the everyday include cycles of eating, loving, fighting and playing. These liminal and fast disappearing collectives are a living hauntology, a celebration of alternative lives and cultures.

“When people are young they see animals as equals, even as kin. That humans are different, unique and superior to all other species – this they have to be taught.” -Sigrid Nunez
