Blanket: Pigeons

Shot in Norman Bethune Park in Montreal in August 2003. The tape shows two perspectives of a woman lying immobile on the grass as pigeons crawl over and around her to eat the birdseed that covers her body. The first is an outside perspective of the body from above; the second is the tightly framed viewpoint of the birds from ground level. These two angles are juxtaposed in ways that push and pull the viewer in and out of the video images.
