This piece examines poet Billy Collins' enigmatic poem "Hunger" by posting the poem's lines up against a short film showing a silent urban landscape like hyper-literary graffiti. The film interprets Collins' poetic riddle with a visual rendering of the poem, showing a forsaken and depopulated cityscape's lonely craving.
In particular, no matter how grand your home might be, the film reveals that it can be a very lonely place on a very big planet. Further, no matter in what esteem you may hold it, or yourself, ultimately you’re very insignificant. In the end, no one is much different from the people who are very poor or are homeless.
The piece presents a number of emotionally stunning photographs, music audio and the remarkable short film, “Hunger.”
