Elisa Caldana: The Falcon of Karachi
Elisa Caldana’s The Falcon of Karachi investigates stories of the laggar falcon, a species endemic to Pakistan, India, and Myanmar that is slowly disappearing in the wild. The artist (b. 1986, Pordenone, Italy; lives in the Hague, the Netherlands) elaborates counternarratives and counter-images that attempt to shift the perception of this bird of prey, considered a minor falcon, and draw attention to its right to life, regardless of its reputation or usefulness in the eyes of human beings.
The project is supported by the Directorate-General for Contemporary Creativity of the Italian Ministry of Culture under the Italian Council program (2023) and by the Mondriaan Fund, the Netherlands.
156 pages, 23 Ă— 29.5 cm, softcover, Mousse (Milan).
