Getting inside the head of an ox' is a visual essay investigating the instruments and behaviours human developed to closely look at nature and animal life, shaping their own bodies in order to blend in or reproduce nature – be it for amateurish practice, scientific or political purposes. The narration departs from a book titled 'Wild Nature's Way' by the Kearton brothers – two British naturalists and pioneers in wildlife photographers – but it expands to diverse related subjects. It raises questions on basic but yet extremely contemporary human behaviour: the ongoing urge to observe, record and study, in order to control and conquer.
