A Bird Hit My Window and Now I'm a Lesbian / Ptič je treščil v moje okno in zdaj sem lezbijka

Carmela Marie Murphy, AJ Dubler (School of the Art Institute of Chicago)
2024, USA, 8’

After a mysterious girl shows up at Gray's doorstep holding the corpse of a bird that had just cracked her window, an impromptu bird funeral changes the way Gray views herself and her lesbian identity.

Ko se na Grayinem pragu pojavi skrivnostno dekle z mrtvim ptičem, ki je pravkar trčil v njeno okno, improviziran ptičji pogreb spremeni način, kako Gray gleda nase in na svojo lezbično identiteto.
