The ten original films depict a youthful Barbary Falcon, a sub species of Peregrine Falcon, flying high in circles, never reaching the horizon, and at close range, with detailed views of the eyes, beak and feathers.
The ten screens are installed in horizontal and vertical positions, around the axis of the film players, facing the viewer at different intervals of distance.
