El canto de los pájaros is a video installation by Andrés Galeano, and it will be seen in the Biological Museum of Turku during the Performanssi 2011 festival produced by Artists' Association MUU.
The videos of the work are based on onomatopoeic transcripts written by the Federación Ornitológica Cultural Silvestrista Española (Spanish Cultural Wildlife Ornithological Federation) which depicts the singing standard of different caged birds. These onomatopoeic transcripts are used in Spanish bird singing competitions to value the singing mastery of caged birds.
In the videos Galeano reads the phonetic code of the singing of several domestic birds and through acceleration his voice becomes singing – a strange human-bird singing.
Tickets: entrance fee to the museum 4,5/3€
The event is organised in collaboration with the Biological Museum of Turku.
