The Moon Goose Colony (MGC)
20:56min, HD Pal, 2011/12


In documentary film "The Moon Goose Colony" the artist Agnes Meyer-Brandis develops an ongoing narrative based on the book "The Man in the Moone", written by the English bishop Francis Godwin in 1638, in which the protagonist flies to the Moon in a chariot towed by ‘moon geese’. Meyer-Brandis has actualised this concept by raising eleven moon geese from birth at Pollinaria in Italy, giving them astronauts’ names*, imprinting them on herself as goose-mother, training them to fly and taking them on expeditions and housing them in a remote Moon analogue habitat.
