Eclipse, is a site-responsive video installation with spatial sound design (7’05” loop), dimensions variable.

The work commemorates a lost species: the passenger pigeon, whose once massive population went extinct 100 years ago. As of the mid-19th Century, this dove-like bird was the most abundant bird species in North America and flew in flocks of millions that would literally darken the skies for hours when passing over. Audubon likened their appearance to a noonday eclipse.

Sound design by Matthew Patterson Curry in collaboration with Sayler/Morris. Animator, Nick Roth.
