Fauna
ABOUT
In a forest, on the outskirts of Barcelona, an old shepherd and his flock live together with a high-tech laboratory for animal experimentation. Two opposite worlds facing each other. Two worlds that are two sides of the same coin. While the shepherd -who is sick with a bone disease- sees how his profession disappears, the scientists are busier than ever researching the Covid vaccine. ‘Fauna’ is a reflection on the relationship between humans, animals and science in times of pandemic.
Pau Faus (born in Barcelona in 1974) is an architect and a visual artist, lives and works in Barcelona, Spain. His work is based on the exploration of today’s forms of urbanity, both physical and emotional, in order to activate autonomous and subjective interpretations of the urban behaviour. He works mainly by interacting with the local “ways of doing”, convinced that only through the knowledge of these everyday life practices (with its forms of conscious or unconscious resistance) one can get to understand the unique particularities of any urban place. He has made several projects and workshops in Europe and South-America.
