Continuing with Hitchcock… Martijn Hendriks’ ongoing project Untitled (or The Birds without the birds, or give us today our daily terror) is exact copy of master’s film with just all the birds removed.

The most amazing thing is the question the project poses: do we, as viewers, still experience fear if the fear symbols are erased from the film?

Martijn Hendriks says:

“In my video piece of The Birds without the birds, the terror of that film is still amazing. But the source of the terror has changed. By taking out the birds, terror isn’t given a form anymore, which instead is something we start doing as viewers.”
