Birdsong is an ongoing body of work that draws on the complexities of what it means to belong. Having grown up between different cultures, Teva Cosic recalls a longing to be rooted, a longing echoed in the tenuous relationship between an image and its maker and, in turn, between its maker and her audience. There is nothing revelatory about the work; it simply exists as the extension of a feeling that the image tries to carry forward in its own feverish way. The zine is number eight in CCP.PE.ZINE, the collaboration between the Centre for Contemporary Photography and Perimeter Editions for emerging photographic artists. The cover shows a butterfly resting on a bare shoulder against a blurred green background.
