The Caged Bird Sings

Caged Bird, Maya Angelou
2007, mixed-media installation
2:15 min video loop, bird cage with speaker

Maya Angelou's Caged Bird poem is a starting point for a reflection on entrapment, communication and freedom.
A motion detector activates a speaker inside a cage while the space outside the exhibition space is projected nearby.

Exhibited as part of Alley Jaunt, Toronto, August 2007
