"Swan Song" - A Conceptual Art Video by Elizabeth Ulanova, 2022

Swan Song is a loose abstraction of climate change through the lens of 1940's Galina Ulanova's swan song, her dance of The Last Swan in SwanLake. A conceptual art video that copulates between the literal and figurative layers of a swan song - the last performance of a masterpiece. Would this era of environmental impermanence produce our final farewell to the seven seas?
