The flight of 160 lonely birds against the blue sky, seemingly bouncing back from the edges of the image. If one points the camera towards the sky and hits the red button, a bird might fly across the image frame in the course of time. It may fly in from any direction and may direct its course to any point in space, but the tape may also run out before the bird appears. The event marks two distant points in space that is where the bird has entered and left both the imaginary and the concrete space of the lens’ visual pyramid.
