It is part of my latest series of works on nature, or rather, on the natures of the human being. Paradoxically, one cannot speak of a natural animal but of a cultural animal; the human behaviour is not determined by its genetic heritage but by its interaction with others, by social practices and by the environment in which we live, therefore by the acquisition of culture.
