As Above, So Below


As Above, So Below


Following food from micro to macro scale, the film explores empathy across time, space and species.

  • New alliances

Care, as love and empathy, begins with acknowledging the position of our body in the world, not simply towards a different body, but also across time and dimensions.

Food spans across all aspects of our lives, from the most profane everyday nourishment to the sacrifices that made an anthropological imprint on the collective psyche. When we eat, we deprive the world of something, in order to stay alive. Death in exchange of life. It connects science and myth, known and unknown. The meal, the settlement, the landscape, the cosmos, down to the microbial and viral in our guts and in the air—food allows us to discover a new perspective on our world.

This film makes use of archive images and microscopic photography of edible substances—fruits, vegetables, grain, fish, vitamins—as a metaphor of the macro, to create a timeless, scaleless world.
