dead animals with a backstory

dead animals with a backstory (2024)

A flock of sparrows try to survive, chased from their home. Unable to migrate, they find refuge in posthumus identities. Inspired by the 1958 "Eliminate Sparrows" campaign spearheaded by the Chinese Communist Party, this piece deals with the idea of instrumentalization of humans. Through this historical event that lead to the Great Chinese Famine, a tangent emerges with today's ecological emergencies and identitarian questions.
