It is impossible for us to even imagine a world without stories about animals.
Kettu katsoo takaisin – Eläinrepresentaatioista (in English The fox looks back – On animal representations) is an audio essay by Matilda Aaltonen and Markus Tapio that explores how words, images, and narratives shape the ways we understand non-human animals. Thoughts by sociologist Salla Tuomivaara and folklorist and Greek language scholar Liisa Kaski intertwine with a soundscape that emerges at the threshold between the organic and the synthetic—an auditory terrain that invites feeling, lingering, and reflection.
Why do animals so often appear to us as cute creatures whose presence gives us pleasure?
Can other animals even be told from a human point of view?
And if so, what might we choose to tell?
Direction, dramaturgy, and sound design: Matilda Aaltonen & Markus Tapio
Speakers: Salla Tuomivaara, Liisa Kaski, Matilda Aaltonen & Markus Tapio
