Red Soil Book

​​The ‘Kochinohoma – Red Soil’ book (2021) by photographer Silvio Augusto Rusmigo in collaboration with designer Omiros Panayides, recounts how songbirds are trapped and killed, partly through what remains: the confiscated trapping paraphernalia and the artificial landscapes that lure them into their ephemeral home. The descriptions add to this inquiry, by drawing on a nostalgic, extinction-inferring note. The narrative is inspired by bird-watching guides, communicating the intense interest that birds cause in their passage.
