April Fool’s
2021
“No witchcraft, no enemy action had silenced the rebirth of new life in this stricken world. The people had done it themselves.”
Rachel Carson
A camera trap, positioned to capture badgers living in one of western Bulgaria’s abandoned cemeteries, accidentally films a group of men taking pictures with one of the unearthed sculls. The men are posing for their own documentation, unaware that they are themselves being documented. The sequence of stills, and the video, were captured on April 1st, 2018. No badgers have appeared on camera during the following week.

The project was made as a collaborative work together with Lidija Delić at Ostavinska gallery.
