Title 'Hawks and Doves'
Location large-scale projection, onto ABC Building,
Harris Street from UTS
When July, evenings from 5pm
'Hawks and Doves' is a dark and poetic vision of urban life and a mesmerising story of adaptation and survival. This video projection unravelled the mystery behind the Peregrine Falcon, the enigmatic raptor commonly described as 'the urban falcon' who survives on city vermin and roosts in skyscrapers.
Every night throughout July at sunset, a ghostly and carnel scene unfolded on the ABC Building in Sydney's CBD. Conventionally a painter, Milsom's video portrayed a delicate translation of man's urban construct. Using footage leached from the video sharing site, YouTube, Milsom mirrors the hunter gatherer tendencies of the Falcon through his 'nesting' filmic process.
This project is being presented in partnership with the
University of Technology, Sydney.
