Following a week-long residency at the Austrian Cultural Forum, in cooperation with three other artists from Austria and the UK, the video artist Sarah Bernauer explored current topics concerning Londoners in an evening of performance, music, art and spoken word. Via an Attenborough-inspired method, the collective traced London as a modern-day habitat, illustrated through music, art and poetry and narrated from the perspective of a bird. Questions about food, migration, nesting, real estate and finding suitable partners in a global city as well as migration patterns in looming post-Brexit Britain were explored; only time will provide answers.

Participating artists included Agnes Hvizdalek, Katie Horwich, Fabian Faltin and Sarah Bernauer.
