The Curve became a walk-through aviary for a flock of zebra finches, furnished with electric guitars and other instruments and objects in Céleste Boursier-Mougenot’s commission.

Trained as a musician and composer, French artist Céleste Boursier-Mougenot creates works by drawing on the rhythms of daily life to produce sound in unexpected ways.

As the birds go about their routine activities, perching on or feeding from the various pieces of equipment, they created a captivating, live soundscape.
