Columbidae

2017

Digital film

11 minutes 52 seconds

The title refers to two anthropomorphic characters: the Pigeon and the Dove. A metaphoric connection couples a polluting factory and a modern wind turbine. Parodying pre-existing western mythologies: the two characters tell tales of industrial harmony.
