Do artists have to be human? Interspecies art
German artist duo Hörner/Antlfinger live and work together with two African Grey Parrots, Clara and Karl.

Gregory Colbert’s Ashes and Snow feature film captures extraordinary moments of contact between people and animals as seen through the lens of the artist’s camera on more than thirty expeditions to some of the earth’s most remote places.

The viewing experience is one of wonder and contemplation, serenity, and hope.
