About the tragic of (avian) death:
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe
Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion
I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain
Roy Batty in 'Blade Runner'

  • About the 'Mortuus Avium ©' project:
    Mankind has been intrigued by avian tragedies since the beginning of time. This elusive, graceful, seemingly weightless being from the sky; fallen, transformed into a sordid, blodied heap of ruffled feathers, like a mirage destroyed, almost a fall from Eden.
    The 'Still Lives' extension of the 'Mortuus Avium' project is inspired by the 17th Century works of the Dutch Masters
