Nietzsche said that "Man was an animal whose own character was not fixed," a kind of individual yet massive wandering of our species, distinguished from others by its behavior.

Humans are a social species. Solitude is very difficult for us, so we create a social circle in which our behaviors mingle with others, making room for history and stories.

Each situation arises from this species, always searching, encountering itself. Among "strange animals," we speak, we reason, we create, we lie, we laugh, we cry, we erase traces.

 

After Mozart's Requiem, where Estelle Danvers explores the mortal condition of Man seeking the light, and after Be Bach or the Wild, where she questions the influence of the group on Man and his choices in relation to others, Estelle continues her search for the Human with Strange Animal.

She places encounters at the heart of her work, convinced that social interaction makes us human, in both our good and bad inclinations. ​
