Diese wunderbare Installation von Céleste Boursier-Mougenot, die Vögel zu Gitarristen macht, ist noch bis zum 23.5. in London zu sehen.
French artist Céleste Boursier-Mougenot creates works by drawing on the rhythms of daily life to produce sound in unexpected ways. Boursier-Mougenot’s installation for The Curve, his first solo exhibition in the UK, takes the form of a walk-though aviary for a flock of zebra finches, furnished with electric guitars and other musical instruments. As the birds go about their routine activities, perching on or feeding from the various pieces of equipment, they create a random and captivating soundscape.
Also included in the installation is a series of videos that feature close ups of hands playing electric guitars. However, the sounds that accompany the footage do not emanate from the guitars. Instead we hear an insect-like drone produced by the amplification of the video signal.
The Birds in the garden, they all started singing your song,

Genauso wie malende Elefanten zu Weltruhm gelangt sind, werden sich nun auch Musikwissenschaftler darüber ergießen und den Geniestreich dieses Gitarristen lobpreisen…..
Bis sie erfahren, dass sie keine Ahnung haben…..
