Virtual screening: A Cow`s Life (Bovines ou la vraie vie des vaches) by Emmanuel Gras (2011)
In the fields, we can see them, lying on the grass or grazing peacefully. Large placid animals we take for granted. Lions, gorillas, or bears capture our attention, but has anyone ever closely documented a cow’s life? Asked what they were doing with their days? What do they do when a storm passes? When the sun comes back? What are they thinking about when they stand there motionless, seemingly contemplating the void? Bovines chronicle the true life of a cow: grazing, ruminating, gazing — but also feeling — mooing with grief, or just enjoying an apple...
