False Sun – a collaboration

Another collaboration with dancer/poet Megan Hollingsworth. Combining grief for Satao, the elephant, another casualty in man’s greed for power over, rather than collaboration with… power with.

FALSE SUN or SOS from Extinction Witness on Vimeo.

“Satao would have been just another poaching statistic, but for his tusks. When he died, he had possibly the largest tusks in the world.” – Mark Deeble / ‘Satao – the enigma’ May 2015
