Digital Animals: Dream Sequences
by Pedro Neves Marques
2017. 19 min. loop, 2K video, color, sound.
Cinematography by Mário Melo Costa
Several young adults are seen falling asleep or sleeping at night in their beds, kitchens, or living rooms. The only source of light comes from computers and tablets, which show images of near-threatened animals. What is the meaning of a digital archive of lifeforms on the verge of extinction? What feelings do these moving images invoke? What kind of sounds do they produce? This is film that takes its inspiration from Andy Warhol’s Sleep and John Berger’s Why Look at Animals?.
