Description
Headbooks: headlong expeditions into the half-known. A blend of the factual and fantastical, the lyrical and the visual – and fully customisable, with scrapbook and do-it-yourself pages.
The bat is a liminal thing, and goes by many cultural aliases: aviation expert, clandestine committee member, victim of superstition, delicate contraption, beautiful mishap, miniature aristocrat, occultist, conjuror, ninja. Up close, they are expressive and bizarre. At a distance, they sit at the juncture of real and unreal, animal and phantasm.
Battalion is your alternative, unregistered guide to the bat – a live, writhy cave colony of findings, fixations and sonic experiments. Add your own inky skitterings to the mix, bring it on your evening flit. Take after its denizens: open your mouth and listen to the sky.
