A meditation on a fragile world | The Birder by Grace Schwindt | Short Art Film | Random Acts

Подробнее о видео

The Birder focuses on fragility in a world driven by capitalist logic. In a capitalist society it is easy to forget that bodies are vulnerable and death does not seem to exist – until it happens.

The film is based on a conversation with the birder Martin Heubeck, who works at a lighthouse on Shetland Islands and who has monitored the seabird population for oil contamination since the oil industry descended on Shetland in the late 1970s.

Grace Schwindt (b. 1979 in Germany) works with film, live performance, sculpture and drawing. She received a BA in Photography from the University of Westminster, London, in 2005, an MA in Fine Art from Slade School of Fine Art, London, in 2008.
