“What if Hitchcock had met Mad Sven?”

In the 80’s, Marvel comics had a series called “What if”. The concept was to put one of their characters in a What if situation and start from there. Something like “What if Peter Parker wasn’t ever bitten by a radioactive spider?”. You knew what it was all about, and the story arc would develop from there.

A good friend of mine took a picture of this building surrounded by a chaos of birds, mastering their trimming and managing to fly without casualties. It was a black and white picture and it reminded me of Hitchcock’s movie, “The birds”. In the film, the birds go crazy and start attacking people. It’s a powerful idea, and in line with a revengeful concept because of the damage we inflict onto our planet, every day. It's quite metaphorical.
