Anyone who feels a shiver run down their spines at the colorfully dazzling collections of dead butterflies attached to boards in museums will likely recognize a persistent unease in Michael Heindl’s Drawing from Nature. It relates to the relationship between humans and so-called nature. In three statically filmed experimental setups, the filmmaker shows various constellations in which human curiosity about the world of birds, plants, and insects leads to destruction: birds that discover actual food in the hand of grain feeding them, plant leaves that are trimmed until they resemble a human arm, and insects that can only be painted accurately when they no longer move.
