A Bird That Mistook a Street Lamp for the Sun, 2025
How do we swim in a world drowning in images?
Using void narration and methods of hyperlink cinema, I pose the question: what kind of sense-making is possible in times when we feel it slipping away?
In the form of a simple decision-making visual novel, you join a bird that mistakes the glow of a streetlamp for the Sun. Under overexposure, your navigation breaks, glitching together through a speculative landscape and the anatomy of pain itself. The body is a praying machine.
Together with the bird, you meet entities, ghosts of unlived futures, whispers of geological trauma, and the fragility inside planetary bones.
Deep time, catastrophism, and bodies of dust.
Dust to dust, welcome to the world without us.
Are you obsessed with beginnings?
Yes × yes.
