We Travel Together

“We Travel Together" is a single-channel HD video work that continues artist Patricia Piccinini’s long-term exploration of the theme of care. The film tells the story of a young girl who forms a deep emotional bond with a peculiar hybrid creature. Together, they interact in natural settings such as forests, meadows, and sandy landscapes, expressing intimacy, trust, and mutual care—challenging viewers’ preconceived notions of “the other” and “heterogeneous life.”

Piccinini’s practice weaves together science, nature, and art, creating hybrid beings that feel at once familiar and fantastical. By blurring the boundaries between humans, animals, and technological constructs, her work provokes a reconsideration of what defines life. The piece invites audiences to approach different life forms with empathy and to reflect on how, in an era of rapid biotechnological and genetic engineering advancements, humans might reimagine coexistence with both nature and technology.

“We Travel Together” is not only a visual narrative but also an emotional experience—offering a tender vision of interspecies symbiosis and encouraging viewers to embrace life’s diversity and the possibilities of future evolution with openness.
