Supernatura
Supernatura tells the story – sometimes in an imaginary way – of the difficult relationship between human beings and nature. We were too violent and slowly this relationship has been destroyed. We are losing real contact with nature, and it will now take back its place.
The human being must have the courage to take a step back and move away from the anthropocentric vision of the world, the only way of salvation to continue living next to a nature that one cannot – nor must – completely domesticate. And it certainly takes more courage to stop and rethink one’s way of life and habits, than to move forward by inertia.
Nature has already begun to rebel with a series of riots, alternating moments of revenge with glimpses of beauty. It is fascinating both with its magnificence and its whispered charm, knowing that it will survive… So will we?
