Cohabitat

Directed by Kara Blake

One of the many ways the pandemic has changed our world is the return of plants and animals to areas where humans are suddenly less present. Rewilding – a natural rebalancing of ecosystems – was a concept that began its slow creep into my dreamscape early on in the lockdown. It began with a racoon pillaging the kitchen but quickly escalated to an okapi taking tea in the living room. An escapist antidote to feeling isolated, Cohabitat imagines the home as host to a growing number of organisms gradually redefining our environment, whether we’re aware of it or not.
