"What is man?" is a documentary composed of interviews in the city of Milan in 2014. The participants are chosen randomly by accepting to take part in an anonymous interview where they have to give their opinion on only one question: What is man?
The nature of the question itself is very intimate but together with the photography of the video creates a geo-cultural landscape where the answers represent the deep influence of the culture thus revealing the outdated notions and basis on how we perceive ourselves as a species in a globalized and technologically advanced society compared to the current scientific achievements.
