    Synopsis

    The short essay film is the artistic documentation of aesthetic swarm intelligence. The middle part of the essay film gives the impression that the starlings only did their meditative rounds for my cameras after my direction. These six minutes essentially consist of an en bloc shot, which I adjusted exactly to the track with only a few cuts and in which, as with the rest of the film, I do without special effects. I leave the screen to the swarms of starlings, they are art! it ́s about perception.
