About the group project by Lilianna
The aim was to get a spontaneous reaction from the public passing by the installation which involved quails from the meat department placed under a tree.
The arrangement suggested that the chicks/baby birds had fallen out from the nest.
The reaction which was observed from the distance, filmed and photographed was a huge success.
In 15min (the time frame was limited as rubbish removal was called twice and they asked us to be quick since we were there without council approval) the response was enormous.
A lot of people took a look at the birds on the ground then automatically looked up. Which was funny since the birds were headless and footless!, people did not register this.
This was the reaction that we were hopping for. The setting itself looked very “romantic” in a way.

Would it be romantic if a cluster of people you know or don't know were placed under a tree, skinned, headless dead and naked for everyone’s reaction and entertainment? The poor little birds, could this shocking art work be a just little disrespectful of the dead animals maybe?? I believe if an animal is dead you eat it, you don't display it in the name of art, and it is wasteful of our resources. The world needs food before it needs art.
