| Résumé: | "Bill Hammond is one of the best and most distinctive New Zealand artists, living or dead. In 1990 on a trip to the uninhabited Auckland Islands far to the south-east of the South Island. Hammond encountered a land of birds, an echo of the unique bird-dominated ecosystem all New Zealand once was. Soon he was painting bird people: melancholy replacements for the dozens of species and millions of individual New Zealand birds killed off by humans. Waiting on half dead branches in the rain, winged but almost never flying, staring and dangerously sexy, they are easily recognisable. At war with his wife and disturbed by a chance encounter with a Hammond bird painting, Kevin McManus (Ian Hughes - Lord of the Rings, Topless Women Talk about their Lives) goes on a journey of self discovery through the extraordinary painted worlds of the artist and real people whose lives have been affected by Hammond's works. Part drama, mostly documentary, Flightless is an original take on the work of a unique artist at the height of his powers"--Container. |
