Description
“Look into the eyes of a horse and know that you are looking at an intelligent and sensitive animal. If a horse is an animal, what are we?
The film “No Horses on Mars” is a direct substantive and factual successor to its predecessor “The Animal That Therefore I Am” (screened in the In Silico experimental competition at “Message to Man – 2019”), in which I introduced ‘The Animal Gaze’ as part of a contemporary emancipatory vision on (human) / man) world”. (Bea de Visser)
