A performer is filmed inside a Life Science Museum wearing a hybrid costume created from prints of bones, horns, shells and corals - objects preserved and classified in the museum collections. The costume becomes a canvas for the enactment of a loss of biodiversity. A soundtrack of children reciting the names of different species currently on the red list accompanies footage of a scientist carefully labelling specimens. The animated film explores themes of separateness and inter-connection between human and non-human life.
