Mother and daughter dance in the first clip. The main clip, “Seagulls & Singing,” is an art piece directed by Kate Gallagher. The original concept was that a group of women in black bathing suits would sing on the beach for a womanfriend who was dying of cancer. But seagulls kept diving at them. They tried to divert the seagulls by throwing bread with hand movements they hoped would evade the camera. Very funny.
