Birdsong
VIDEO, COLOUR & B/W, 16:9, STEREO, BE, 2023, 16'
Two birds in a weightless world. They summon the sun with a song until an eclipse brings out the stars.
Birdsong is an attempt to see the beginning in the end, a meditation on a world without us, a postlapsarian paradise, a kind of love at last sight.
