Through the lens of a specially mounted video camera, the viewer can share the viewpoint of Petteri, a Finnish reindeer, in its daily activities in its own environment
in Lapland. The artwork presents a document concerning the necessities,
social life, and personal matters of interest of the animal, who runs free on the
fells and forests.
After Petteri has shot his normal course of life during a couple of days, the filmed
material has been edited by humans to minimize the amount of technical and dramaturgical
flaws in order to create an artwork presentable for a human audience.
Allowing nature to direct, the project aims both to enlarge and enrich the average
city dweller’s understanding of the environment we share with other species.
