Tree PerfromanceSound installation / intervention
Deal Music Festival 2009 “Nobody seems to require anything to be real in its totality. It’s almost as if unadulterated realness has become an unrealistic expectation. However partial realness –reality in the right context – has become central to the success of just about everything that falls into the category of consumer art. The idea of fiction revealing mans greater truth about life has been replaced by the notion that truth can be found only in what’s already there –even if what is there is never real to begin with” - Chuck Klosterman
Two tree mounted Megaphones played out an audio track of exotic bird call to passers by. The speakers, hidden behind the tree's branches, and the sound matched to the volume of the native birds present, attempted to align the soundscape into the local sonic environment and enable it to be encountered as 'real'.
