LESS SLEEP THAN A BIRD

(2019 / HD / 16:9 / Stereo / No Dialogues / 9' / United Kingdom)

In a turning point moment in British politics, the port of Dover finds itself in the centre of the Brexit conversation due to its proximity to the European continent and its fundamental function for the economy of the United Kingdom.
‍
Less sleep than a bird observes the regulated and disciplined space of the infrastructure and reflects on the political, economic, technical and ecological tensions created by the relation between a human-made construction and the environment where it is situated.
