Two-channel video installation dealing with the idea of control. Everything is slowed, the audio places chopped and stuttering strings underneath the muffled cries of abstract beasts. On the one side we see seagulls eating and fighting over dead fish, on the other we see a blurred figure of a man moving wildly. Human and animal behaviour are contrasted and compared.
