Deer embrace architecture. “Dear Hart, How They Dream. How We Dream” is a dreamscape made up of animations of a hybrid Père David’s deer combined with video footage. The Père David’s deer is an unusual deer whose antlers grow like tree branches. It is officially extinct in the wild, but they exist in captivity in zoos and are bred for trophy hunting in the US and New Zealand. They have been reintroduced to their native China.
