Birdhead: Welcome to Birdhead World again – Italy 2017

The exhibition is the result of the travels the artist duo undertook in Italy from December 2016 until April 2017. Their unique approach to photographically document their daily life and traveling activities created a large volume of images which the artists have processed, arranged, and mounted to comprise each eponymous “Birdhead World”. Presented as matrices, tiled in large arrays, or assembled into collages of new and traditional images and poetry, each bricolage is driven by a distinctive Birdhead semiotic.

As their photographs for this exhibition solely show their travels in Italy, the show is documenting an interior journey, a form of introspection. The artists invite the observer to engage into “Birdhead World”, and not only understand but feel their emotions, aesthetics and interests. If the audience happens to be “model readers” (a concept created by Umberto Eco), then they will be able to follow Birdhead to break the shackles of time and reality, therefore hearing the echo from ancient time in contemporary life.

Exhibition opening hours 10am-7pm
