ARTWORK

This is Not a Bird Song (Immigrant Song), video installation, 2021

This work showed at Saarijärvi Museum from 3.2.2021 to 25.4.2021

This is Not a Love Song (Immigrant Song)

Birdsong is slowed and pitched down to fall within human range. A human then imitates the song, imposing words into the song. The human song is then sped up to sound like the original birdsong. The subtitles reveal what was sung – slogans from pro-Brexit banners. What appears to be birdsong is human song and the apparent innocence of a singing bird is revealed to be anything but harmless.
