Crows can be found almost everywhere that people are, from tropical islands to deserts and arctic forests, from densely populated cities to suburbs and farms. Across these diverse landscapes, many species of crow are doing well: their intelligent and adaptive ways of life have allowed them to thrive amid human-driven transformations. But some of them are critically endangered, and despite the efforts to preserve the species, on the verge of extinction.
The starting point for The Flock has been a story about an atypical flock of crows that settled in the Netherlands by accident, because of the climate change and the destroyed balance on the planet. The birds have adjusted their lifestyle and lived with the local crows. But because they looked different, they remained noticeable. Even though they did not breed excessively and the population remained small, the city authorities sentenced them to extermination and destroyed them completely.
The project, devised by Žiga Divjak and the team, explores the coexistence of different living species on the planet and at the same time touches the question of migrations, searching for a better life and the (in)ability to integrate.
