A Vulture’s Dance
assume it: we all have a dark side which always want to fly high like a vulture. a crow. the ancient rituals and specially rites in all the cultures of the world recreated somehow the dark flights of these black birds with special meanings. some as exorcism. some others as calling or preys. pagan or religious, human or spiritual. black birds flights always had imposed some human fascination. symbol of death for many cultures because their behaviour. dreaming with crows use to symbolise that death is coming. a vulture’s flight over death fields is an intense mix of beauty and of fear. if exorcism, we want that black bird will fly away, and this is most used in rites: let it go, free and dare your own. with respect. dancing with them.
Flying and dancing over death, the vulture creates shadows of it’s own, looking and seeking the next skeletons. Based on some ancient culture’s rites this is a new set of photography (self portraits) by G.Bènard
