A hunter, a veterinarian and a nurse conversing around a surgical table while performing surgery on a wild boar. Different visions of care juxtapose in an ecology where nature is manufactured and exploited by human capital. This sensorial exploration looks at conservation behaviours as infrastructures shielding domestic spheres from wildlife in the plains surrounding Piacenza. Landscapes are framed in conversations with humans, other-than-human actants and technologies of control.
Pietro Francesco Pingitore
Pietro is a visual anthropologist born in Milan, Italy. He studied Art and Humanities in Bologna where he also attended a Film School in 2014. In 2020 he started the MA in Visual Anthropology at the Goldsmiths University of London and he deepened my interests in manifestations that define what is “wild” in specific territories. As a filmmaker he wants to approach different ecologies exploring lines traced by the separations between nature and culture, domestic and wild, art and science, behaviour and performance, documentary and fiction. What are the tools, the technologies and the narratives that embody those marks of separation?
