Presented at VISIO. European Identities. New Geographies in Artists’ Film and Video (2018)
The artist follows a Kazakh berkutchi (eagle hunter) as he attempts to tame his wild eagle, Sadak. This centuries’ old tradition finds a new meaning in Staying with the trouble. In a world, in which the flow of people and data has become exceedingly complex to grasp, the film turns to the unsung sense of touch - the one that we depend on the most and talk about the least. The sense that is able to reveal the power dynamics that define us.
