GENDA is a magazine intersecting Western and Eastern culture. Two sets of editorial staff one in Italy and one in China first identify a common theme, which is then elaborated through the misunderstandings and complicities at the base of every concrete exchange. Its second instalment deals with the complex territory of human relationships with animals as presences that follow, range ahead, wait, influence, hide, observe. Our constant, everyday interactions with animals can transform them into either food or idolised objects of worship. Their apparition can be a mirror that gauges distance and formulates a bond of indifference, morbid obsession, or even dependency.
