Auditing Taxidermic Wings

‘Auditing Taxidermic Wings’ interweaves thermal imaging as it navigates sites of compression along the river Clyde, tracing emissive heat in institutions that arise along the river’s banks as knotted boundary knolls.

Multiplicitous voices drift alongside image, in unison and discord. One voice describes, in density and yearning, an encounter with a woman on the banks of the Clyde. A vocaloid sings balladic refrains of ‘no borax no glue’, a shorthand for how to achieve the impossible. An accordion traces the piece, its infrastructural logic breathing perpetually.

‘Auditing Taxidermic Wings’ turns inwards in loops, setting the interior as the crux of the image as it dissolves in flatness, offering heat, love, conspiracy, and longing, as a response against tech-born and institutionally encoded power.
