Flight. Not mechanised, not aided or abetted by technology, but solely by the individual. One of man's last frontiers and a dream that can never be realised. How often does a child, or an adult in moments of lucid innocence, dream of flying. In Seagull, the artist tries, quite genuinely, to fly. The romanticism of the concept is belittled by the physicality of the attempt - futile and absurd, arms wave for the short duration of the film before the inevitability of the situation dawns and failure is embraced.
