A companion to Elisa Caldana’s exhibition 'The Falcon of Karachi', this publication expands on the themes of disappearance, identity, and human-animal relationships through the elusive figure of the Laggar falcon. Overlooked and considered a "minor falcon," the Laggar has long been absent from historical depictions – only now gaining attention in the face of its looming extinction. Through counter-narratives and counter-images, Caldana challenges perceptions of value and recognition, exploring the paradox of wilderness within captivity. With captivating interviews and context, it deepens the exhibition’s inquiry, tracing the falcon’s legacy beyond its fading presence in the wild.
