In the video installation Requiem in Slow Motion, an Indian rhinoceros lies motionless on the ground. A magpie accompanies the rhinoceros, on its back, watching over the enormous animal. The massive body of the rhinoceros evokes strength and protection, yet in this context, it seems in vain. The body remains still, with only the rhinoceros’s ears occasionally moving, as if attuned to environmental sounds and birdsongs. Over time, the deep tones of a musical piece emerge, reminiscent of film music or a requiem. The title: Requiem in Slow Motion evokes the image of a slowly, intense farewell—a symbol of something grand and precious that is lost or disappearing.
