Zebra Finches



French artist CĂ©leste Boursier-Mougenot creates works by drawing on the rhythms of daily life to produce sound in unexpected ways.
For this installation, Boursier-Mougenot creates a walk-though aviary for a flock of zebra finches, furnished with electric guitars and other musical instruments. As the birds go about their routine activities, perching on or feeding from the various pieces of equipment, they create a captivating, live soundscape.
