Paper birds #2: the green screen

work in progress. Using the green screen at ANU. Not sure of the title yet.



This will be a new video that re-tells my first encounter with a Pink Robin in the Styx Valley in Tasmania. I was told at the time that it was a Rose Robin. The misidentification lead me to become a twitcher. The video will have a narrative where I try and think through why the correct identification was important to me.

Documentation of Feeders at Aichi Triennale


I finally got around to uploading the installation documentation on youtube. Enjoy!

The encounters that started these works are in the posts Black Kite Kamakura and a post about bird watching at the Meiji Shrine. Although the back story for the Varied Tit encounter isn't posted yet...

You can see the paper birds in progress in this post...

to scale Varied Tit.
Made from the paper bags of all the things I bought in Japan.
A Black Kite and Varied Tit- they are the props for an animation that I am now editing with Abi. The works title is "Feeders" and it picks up on some of my encounters with birds- including the Black Kite that stole my lunch.

Getting it ready for the Aichi Triennale.
