sky every day

Pipsa Lonka’s sky every day explores the coexistence of humans and seagulls at a seaside resort over four days.

In sky every day flocks of humans gather at a sunny beach resort, pass time in the solitude of hotel rooms, and chat mindlessly on the terrace of a oceanside restaurant. The beach’s nostalgic idleness is disrupted by a wall of dead fish that is pushed onto the shore from the murky ocean. The seagulls inhabiting the landscape observe the sunburnt beachdwellers and their activities from different perspectives. The performance focuses on the reality of these birds alongside our human experience.
