Ria Pacquée, As long as I see birds flying I know I am alive (2015)

Ria Pacquée is a keen observer of public life. In As long as I see birds flying I know I am alive, she brings together a collection of recordings she made during her travels and walks in Paris, Kathmandu, Athens, Istanbul, Bruges, New York, Varanasi and Antwerp.

By juxtaposing images of the sacred with those of a worldly reality, Ria Pacquée undercuts the anthropological and scientific potential of her material, which is a disorienting artistic strategy the artist often uses. Two recurring elements, clouds of drifting smoke and prowling birds, evoke a dreamlike and looming atmosphere, which makes even the most common gesture appear like being part of an age-old ritual.
