Naturalmente was projected in the Cinema EYE Filmmuseum in Amsterdam, The Netherlands the 28th February 2017 and at the KINO theater, Rotterdam the June 20th 2017. Naturalmente was a video mapping projection on a sphere, the methaphor of the Earth. The happiness of well-being and connectedness with others and the environment around the Earth.

​

Happiness isn’t simply a pleasurable feeling, it overlaps with the production of hormones and it goes further than sex and food. Happiness is a sense of well-being and connectedness with others and the environment. While drugs, alcohol, money, arts, music, altruism and transcendence are also involved with a specific part of the brain which has a pulsating light of happiness. For this projection, the images implied a transcendental part of the life where animals show us how the simplicity of happiness remains on Earth.The life of wild animals is a connection with nature itself and it is within this connection that happiness resides.
