Falk Richter interweaves socio-political questions about the environment, economy and the endless stream of information with the Persian poet Farid ud-Din Atta’s verse epic, “The Conference of the Birds” from the 12th century where the birds of the world gather to decide who is to become their leader. With an analytical eye, Richter dissects the mechanisms that makes living possible in a chaotic world.
