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 × 29.5 cm, softcover, Mousse (Milan).
