Join us for the launch event of a new book about BIRDING, a project by artist Daniel & Clara exploring ideas around the human gaze and birdwatching.
About
Birding is a body of work about the human gaze, exploring the optical and psychological processes at play when humans look at nature, particularly focusing on birdwatching and the projections that take place between watcher and bird.
Using moving image and photography to depict wild birds, trained birds and taxidermy specimens, Daniel & Clara engage with the various ways in which we have looked at and studied birds through history and the role images play in understanding our relationship to the natural world.
The book includes texts by artist/researcher Victoria Matthews, researcher/writer Miranda Cichy and art historian Matthew Bowman, as well as an in-depth interview with Daniel & Clara by Yale film scholar Oksana Chefranova.
To celebrate the launch of this publication the artist will be hosting an open studio event, this will be a chance to preview this new work and be the first to get a copy of the book.
