The Day the Birds stopped Singing

2020—2021

The Day the Birds stopped Singing is a poetical photobook about the feeling of anger, uncertainty and incomprehension of growing up in a dying world.

Through flashed-in black and white photographs of young adults, city birds and the local parks I am creating visual metaphors that convey this liminal feeling we experience in a time where we leave behind the comforts of childhood and face the consequences of adulthood. What do we have our wings for if there is nowhere to land?

The Day the Birds stopped Singing was selfpublished as a book.
