Audiovisual dictionary that covers some concepts of daily use during the Covid-19 pandemic in Argentina. Traversed by the concept of eternal return, this story addresses the environmental problems of our territory and our way of connecting with the species and the space we inhabit. The pandemic led to new definitions and the redefinition of many concepts. Those margins and limits of language that pretend to be impossible to cross or deform are our starting point to portray the context in which we find ourselves. In Argentina, during the months of confinement, environmental problems multiplied as a result of agribusiness. The depletion of natural resources, the loss of biodiversity, wild capitalism and the food production system are an explosive cocktail for the generation of zoonoses and future pandemics. We are interested in reflecting on the habits that we have socially and culturally incorporated and questioning the way we relate to the species and the space we inhabit.
