Denken im Taubenschlag. Eine Medienanalyse

Themen
Gesellschaft - Erkenntnis - Wissen
Notiz
Plato likens the human soul with a cage, where knowledge is birds flying. We’re born with the cage empty and, as we grow, we collect birds and they go in the cage for future use. When we need to access knowledge we put our hand in the cage, hunt for a bird - and sometimes catch the wrong one

Ornithology uses the term "Zugunruhe" to describe the turbulent behavior of birds before they migrate, whether free or caged.

These two images, birds inhabiting the human soul and the distress of the migrating bird became the starting points for this film, commissioned on the theme of Emigration.
