Fear of flying

2009
photo of the gallery installation



Description

Projected images consisted of photo collages of flying birds colliding with war planes and were intended to be viewed from a swing mounted in front of the screen. The audio component incorporated recordings of weather reports (turbulence warnings) from an aviation radio station .

This installation examines specific views of nature. A human perception of nature as a danger to be conquered is juxtaposed with the (imaginary) point of view of birds seeing humans as potential risk to their safety (birds colliding with planes/ mechanical recording of a human voice).
