Genre: Documentary

In 54 shots, natural history (to respect the film’s lower-case title) builds a cumulative picture of Vienna’s Museum of Natural History. But for its first three shots – of a statue, a hallway and a permanently-exhibited painting – it does so through images of the building’s unseen spaces: storage rooms, boiler rooms, offices, empty corridors closed to the public.

The film draws attention to its ways of seeing with a deliberately syncopated rhythm. Appreciably lengthy takes are followed by rapid-fire shots, cutting from one image before we can digest its information to another on which we’re forced to linger for longer than we’d perhaps like. It’s a teasing editorial pattern made all the more obvious by the sonic contrasts between the distinct ambiences of each space: whirring generators, distant hums, the charged non-silence of a vacant hallway."
