The viewer is drawn into an intimate scene between two pupplayers in a living room. The close-up cinematography captures the soft touches and playful gestures of two men dressed as dogs. AND THEN WE TOUCH confronts us with our own human needs for sensuality, touch, and playfulness. A shimmering space emerges when the human touches the non-human. Egger raises our awareness of the performative nature of categories like humanity and animality. In this cinematic essay, he explores the creation of a post-human identity, expressed through bodily gestures and grunts. Becoming animal does not represent a return to a so-called state of nature; rather, it is a hybrid process—deeply “impure”—in which bodies and artifacts merge.
