Gail Pickering –
An abandoned night club transforms into a temporary bird sanctuary.
Plastic battery powered seagulls noisily grinding in circular motion
suspended from nylon cables.Imported and nurtured by the bird keeper.
Feeding them with electric charge,giving them motion,fixing them as their
mechanism fail:a continuous pursuit.An ephemeral trading point. As quickly
as it arrived,it disappeared. “Can I buy one of
the flying birds?” “It’s a trade,
a bird for a bird.” “You want me to
catch a bird?” “Yes” “I can’t catch
a bird!” “You could
try.” Pauses, ”I could
bring a chicken?” |
