Mockingbird
Film, 2016
During my second stay in the Caucasus region in 2016, I worked collaboratively with the Artist Till Wittwer and the Filmmaker Nora Longatti. We follow the story of the Georgian policeman called Beso, from Shida Kartien province, who describes his encounter with a mockingbird. It was commonplace to trap young mockingbirds and pierce their tongues, forcing them to re-learn their means of communication and
imitate human language.
