Magdaléna Manderlová: And everything is suddenly a bird and wants to fly away

16. 11. 2022 — 19. 2. 2023

sound gallery IGLOO
Komenský street no. 10, Jihlava
curator: Miloš Vojtěchovský

The sound essay, supplemented by several objects, captures the flow of memories evoked by listening to the voices of common swifts. The composition is assembled from field recordings, spoken word and fragments of songs. Memories of straw bales, bird voices, plant flowers, the darkness of coal mine shafts, or the metaphor of thoughts like pine seeds that grow into tall trees come back here. The English version of the composition was released on cassette by Breton Cassette in early 2022 and can be heard on a cassette player with headphones at the exhibition.
