Birdsong

Anouk De Clercq

video, BE, color & b/w, 2023, 16’45”

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.
