Sound from the North
2017
7 whistles, sound performance by pigeons
location: Victoria Park, Hong Kong
來自北方的聲音
作品請專人將七個代表七個音符的鴿哨扣在維多利亞公園野鴿的羽毛上,然後等待鴿子隨意飛翔及歸巢。我邀請觀眾於六月至十月期間到維多利亞公園體驗這個需要耐心等待且難以預料的演出。

Sound from the north
In this work, I invited a pigeon master to attach seven whistles, each representing a musical note, to the wild pigeons in Hong Kong’s Victoria Park. I then let the pigeons perform the sound in their own way and time. I invited the audience to visit Victoria Park from June to October 2017 (until the whistles fell off when the feathers renewed) to wait and hear this unpredictable sound performance.
