A look at recent technological transformations in contemporary industrial agriculture.
The wolf no longer inhabits the land that once formed part of its territory, and only through its outlines can we get closer to it; remnants of wolf traps, predator urine imported from the US, a dung-hill used to feed scavenger birds and archers that shoot at replicas of animals. Reserve constructs a story about the fragile balance of a territory after the disappearance of the predator, where the complex co-existence between humans and non-humans presents a distinctly marked anthropogenic ecosystem.
"LYCISCA, shot in Karrantza, an historic mining area of Bilbao and also one of the most rural areas of the province, departs from the myth of the Carranza Wolf, but portrays the industrial farming system, as well as the system by which museums exploit animal life and geology." - Anthology Film Archives
