The Scavenger Collapse is a video in the making about the endangered vulture in India. Playfully experimenting with the format of a BBC educational video, the video will be narrated by two middle-aged white presenters. The video explores the consequences of a failed symbiosis between humans and more than humans and weaves it together with stories on eating, fascism, hierarchy, and death, as well as Britain’s shameful colonisation of India
This work is based on a previous ambulating lecture performance where Hillside Projects conducted a presentation with the aid of a cassette player, sandwich, drawings and found photographs for small groups in their offices, over zoom online and in homes.
The Scavenger Collapse is made with the generous support through a project grant from Konstnärsnämnden (The Swedish Arts Grants Committee).
