In Greek Mythology, Syrinx was a woodland nymph known for her beauty, chastity, and crystalline voice. Syrinx is also the term used for the vocal organ of a bird - comparable to a human larynx. Birds and humans share a tremendous vocal ability and range, a trait connecting us throughout our respective evolution 'On the Use of a Syrinx' explores man's relationship to the wild. Filmed during an actual hunt amid the resplendent Southern wilderness, a hunter lures a bird into shooting range by imitating sex calls. Live on camera, he translates his calls into English constructing a narrative that challenges the delineation between male and female, sex and violence, human and wild.
