LAIKA

Deborah Stratman, USA, digital, 4.5 min, 2021

Some forms we can only know by their shadow. In homage to the spirits of space test dogs, or any being we use in the name of progress.

This music video was made by invitation of composer Olivia Block for the release of her album Innocent Passage in the Territorial Sea (Room40)
