Synopsis

Small birds are migrating over dystopian landscapes. They fly in flock as they travel from Germany, over the Alps, to the Mediterranean Sea. Robins, tits and sparrows do not usually migrate this far, but in a near future, they might. Swarm offers a bird’s eye’s view over landscapes of threedimensional photocollages that show a part of Europe after climate change. Colourful feathers on a journey over an exhausted and exploited environment.
