Memory of Birds

Memory of Birds is an interactive sound installation that takes place in trees, created in collaboration with a trauma therapist and migrating birds. The work explores political violence that literally and figuratively gets buried in contested lands. It centers the artist’s complicated relationship with the land – one that holds trauma, mass graves, and toxicity, a repository of political struggle, a record of power dynamics, and a site of various species migrating for survival.

A guided somatic experience, Memory of Birds is a work that eats itself, designed to be forgotten.

Part of Belluard Bollwerk festival in Fribourg.
