Izabela Dłużyk is a Polish nature sound recordist. Born blind, Dłużyk developed interest in birds and began to record bird noises at the age of 12. Her specific sensitivity to birdsong has since grown into a wide-ranging artistic practice. Last year, BBC World broadcast a documentary about Dłużyk, during which she noted, “Humans focus more on visual aspects. When observing birds, we mainly think about photography. We identify species based on their appearance rather than their sounds. When I listen not only to birds, but also to trees, I simply feel in the right place, with a sense of the deepest meaning of existence.”
