trip to sunny malta with the ghost of gone birds team cery levi the man behind ghosts and a group of artists went to volunteer for birdlife to help understand what is happening there in regards to hunting legislation and the migration of exotic birds that stop off in malta on their travels as well as formulating ideas of how best to visually represent the situation there we got to learn how bad the hunting is in malta so many endangered birds are killed in incredible numbers and illegally to boot we started each day at 4 15am and after a 10am 1pm break we were back out in the fields again monitoring hunters and the migration patterns of birds until the sun set it was extremely tiring but hugely rewarding work thank you to everyone at birdlife and the ghost of gone birds team for a unique and fascinating experience in the coming months i ll post work in progress shots of the work that i ll be producing for a group show based on the artists experiences of the trip posted by ben
