Prosper de Roos is a documentary maker and philosopher who teaches, writes and produces cross-media features (audio, podcast and video). His work explores stories that intersect humanity, society, nature, and philosophy.
A recurring theme in his work is the ever-shifting boundary between human and non-human. The tortuous affair of man, nature and technology. Connected to this lumpy knot are stories and ideals that influence how we perceive the world. Narratives and ideologies give meaning, encourage and mislead.
