‘We Are Because You Are’, 2025

“We Are Because You Are“ presents a narrative where the past meets the future, delving into where water itself reflects on its current needs and desires. Bauba Collective, inspired by the famed old fishponds of the Třeboň Basin, a vital element in protecting biodiversity in the region, presents a short video that reimagines the ponds as a habitat of the planet that, after many years of human interventions, through the voice of a mud spirit, warns about the ill-fated future of the ponds. The imaginative journey into the relations between different inhabitants of the planet, human actions, and interventions, aims to remind humans of their coexistence on this planet, which shall lead to compassion and well-being of all ecosystems.

 

“We Are Because You Are” is a work by Bauba Collective (Nina Šperanda and Aleksandra Czerniak).
