In this experimental short film, a strange protagonist-neither completely human nor completely foreign-crosses the museum's rooms as we explore an unknown territory. Coming from another time or another world, she does not know everything about the concept of hunting. Surrounded by naturalized animals, ancient weapons, paintings and art objects, she observes, mime and diverts the codified gestures which formerly embodied power and domination. Little by little, the museum becomes a field of study for her, a laboratory of coexistence ... Until metamorphosis! Where formerly domination and conquest triumphed, it is now the outcrop vulnerability. Hunting becomes an empathy game, hunting trophies, silent witnesses of a relationship to be reinvented between humans and non-humans .we used to be wild is an experimental film shot as part of the artist's residence at the Fiminco Foundation, with the support of the Museum of Hunting and Nature.
