A Wing Beat! A Wing Beat!, 2022. Single-channel video installation, LED screen embedded in movable wall, surround sound, sculptural objects, commissioned by the advancement award 21/22 → Arthur Boskamp Stiftung curated by → Agnieszka Roguski
Film excerpt [sound on] → here
Artist's book → DISTANZ
The multimedia installation A Wing Beat! A Wing Beat! follows the perspective of a pigeon reproduced by a drone-mounted camera. In referencing aesthetics of earlier homing pigeon photography, whose analog technology drone-mounted cameras replace, the video shows footage from a camera attached to the pigeon‘s body and transported by it: parts of the video are recordings from the area surrounding Hohenlockstedt - a region that was used for military training during the German Empire and the Nazi era. A Wing Beat! A Wing Beat! engages with the body of the pigeon and the attempts to control and capture it.
