Albatross

Albatross is a collaborative film project with artist Chris Jordan and photographer Manuel Maqueda. The film is the culmination of many years of research and study of the issue of ocean plastic pollution, with a paricular focus on how it effects species of Albatross on a tiny atoll in the centre of the vast North Pacific Ocean. The resulting film is an experience that is devastating, not only for the plight of suffering birds, but also for what this crisis reflects back about the destructive power of the culture of mass consumption, and its damaged relationship with the living world.
