THE KEEPERS
Sara Passerini, 2024

The unexpected proximity to an animal influences our perception of reality, relating to our subconscious, our inner visual memory and symbolic collective imagination. 

In these nocturnal encounters animals, facing us for a moment, reveal the possibility of a dialogue that goes beyond human language and intellect. 

Simply looking at us with their individual or collective identity they introduce us to an instinctive connection with things and a different sense of belonging, opening a chink to a natural dimension we can foresee overturning our anthropocentric point of view. Like guardians they both keep and reveal the presence of a world next to ours, a space without name and without project in which they freely trace their path.
