The human race had the biggest task to conquer nature in order to survive and make its own
suitable and safe environment to live in. The crucial idea of Humanism was to support the
growth and expansion of our civilisation until this expansion started to restrain other living species
in creating their own safe environments. According to Darwinism, the animals are our relatives.
Human being holds an equally important role on this planet as any other living creature. We are
facing a threat of complete extinction of wild animals – such as elephants, rhinoceros, pangolins,
tigers, whales..etc – leaving us only with animals in captivity.
The video would like to map the extinction of wildlife caused by the growth of the human
civilization, reflected on them, even more, becoming contradictable term: humanism. With this
mapping, I wanted to show how we have lost the natural connection with the animals, therefore
with ourselves. My work intends to show the absence of needed attention on this issue and
envisages a dystopia of nature without animals.The movie contains more than two thousand manually edited images.
