Fly Machine/Mogaka (2018)

The accompanying sound piece for my photographic work contains found sound clips of aircrafts taking off, in flight and crashing. Throughout the sound piece, there is the echoing voice of a fellow pilot who recounts the events surrounding the morning the pilot passed away. Using his expert knowledge as a pilot, they are able to give a near accurate description of what may have happened for the pilot to lose control of the fighter jet. But of course, none of us will ever know what happened except for the man who was behind the machine.
