The Aviary (Voliéra)
The Aviary is a world to itself. A kingdom of birds, a playground, a pavilion, a site of unpredictability. Visitors immerse themselves into a realm of sounds, clouds, wings, and cages. They witness micro-narratives in this small enclosed world, where birds and their Aviary carers coexist in constellations. Those who enter will experience times of feeding, courtship, flight, and rebirth. In the Aviary, there is room for any kind of flight and escape from the world. It will allow us to become observers of uniqueness and listen to the diversity of sounds. The commotion of the birds is sometimes cheerful, sometimes harrowing. The boundary between wildness and domestication is very fragile.
