Above Our Horizon (2019)

In Above Our Horizon, we see the artist don a carnival mask of a bird’s head, whose exaggerated size and features hint at an uncanny reality being portrayed onscreen: a hybrid of our known and shared world and a dream world. It encompasses the sea, the air, which is crisscrossed by the flight of birds and bats and dotted with stars, a “sea salt whirlwind”, fire and a burned hill, as well as fish, which is grilled alive to provide sustenance.
