Coming back to the very source of what puts us into movement, 'Animals are like water in water' is a solo digging into the contradiction of being human and animal at the same time. With instincts and loneliness, cruelty and wisdom. Selfishness and empathy, consciousness and reflexes.
While coming closer to our animality, the border between object and subject fades out.

Roger Caillois suggère que la capacité mimétique de certains animaux révèle un trouble de la relation entre personalité et espace.
Absorbé par l'espace, “Le corps se désolidarise d'avec la pensée, l'individu franchit la frontière de sa peau et habite de l'autre côté de ses sens. Il est semblable, non pas à quelque chose, mais simplement semblable.” (Roger Caillois, Mimétisme et Psychasthénie légendaire)
La distinction entre sujet et objet abolie, l'individu se dépersonalise par assimilation avec l'espace.
Animals are like water in water fait acte de cette absorbtion, et revient par là même à ce qui nous met en mouvement, le moteur vital.
