“Dear Hart, How they dream. How we dream” consists of animations of a hybrid Père David’s deer combined with video footage where deer inhabit human space in a deep fake video of dreams.
The Père David’s deer is an unusual animal whose antlers grow like tree branches – a chimerical animal. “The species is sometimes known by its informal name, sì bú xiàng… literally meaning four not alike… or like none of the four…The hooves of a cow but not a cow. The neck of a camel but not a camel. Antlers of a deer but not a deer. The tail of a donkey, but not a donkey.” (Wikipedia)
Although the Père David’s deer live in zoos and have been recently reintroduced to their native habitat in China, they are officially extinct in the wild. Notably, they also remain in captivity for trophy hunting in the USA and New Zealand.
