Archives of plants named by the first colonizers. Unarchiving a territory, uninventing a name. Muestrario begins with a process of learning about the relationship of plants in the native forest. Guided by the voices of the inhabitants of Hornopirén, in the south of Chile, we begin to glimpse what still subsists in this territory, soon to be devastated by industrial extractivism. In the search for ways on how to film, relate and inhabit this place, the forest returns and takes over the narrative. Not only do we observe it, but it also looks back at us.
