THE WAY THINGS SEEM
During the pandemic lockdown many people experienced a sudden sense of confinement and distance. Daily life became restricted, movements reduced, contact limited.
This moment of collective pause invites reflection on other forms of confinement that usually remain unnoticed. Animals classified as livestock, utility or entertainment are often kept within systems that control movement, behaviour and life itself.
The Way Things Seem reflects on how such structures become normalised. Systems of control can appear stable and inevitable, even when they rely on fragile balances that affect humans, animals and the environments we inhabit.
