zangvogels (singing birds)
Rotterdam artist Christine Saalberg rents a little house and a garden in this allotment complex at Rotterdam South bank.
She invited artists to create temporary works in the gardens or wooden houses, for one weekend in October.
Artists choose a certain location to install their work but I preferred to perform a work across the area as a whole.
On each of the exhibition days I walked for a couple of hours along the small paths that give access to the parcels. I stopped at some garden and read with a loud voice a textual description of a singing bird as found in a booklet accompanying a cd with bird calls.
