MANIFESTO is a short poem that I wrote entitled "Eye contact and other observations between me and animals". It asks the viewer, the photographer and the individual one simple question: How far can you look without establishing hierarchy? MANIFESTO also connects with an ongoing observation of animals in different urban contexts that I keep collecting via phone videos.

My intention is to spy the animal or to do the opposite, to try to establish a bond with its gaze. Behind each video lays the reflection born by writing the piece.
