Bird’s Prayer
Video performance
Four performers whose heads uphold miniatures of four different religious temples that are recognized by the state, walked around a bird market and went to the greenery and pasture of the rice paddies. The sensitive issue of the freedom to practice one's religion is addressed in the work in a subtle approach. It points out the individual spiritual freedom behind the confine of religious institutions that tend to monopolize our understanding of faith.
