Birds talked to her
Film by Swoon for the poem 'Vogels babbelden met haar' ('Birds talked to her') by Jan Lauwereyns from his book 'De Willekeur' (De Bezige Bij, 2012)
Play loud and preferably with headphones!
Words & translation: Jan Lauwereyns
Concept, camera, editing, music: Swoon
The work deals with people reacting to suicide and suicide attempts showing as less movement as possible. Pure grief against angst, anger, despair and pain. All in the gaze. The stare...the head of the victim and the viewer/listener.
