How do we deal with the mass extinction of other organisms in our time? For PLAN B/Veldwerk, Pim Cornelussen conducts research into ecological memory loss with Een soort van Stilte (A Kind of Silence). An exercise in cross-species empathy, a quest to discover how we can feel what we have lost. In the form of a walk, you, the spectator, step into the shoes of an extinct (or endangered) species.
