EXTINCT PASSERINES/ 1000-2020 CE
About the project
This project is a collection-archive including all 111 extinct Passerine species in the last millennium. Concerning each record in the archive, we shall always come across a drawing containing one pair of birds of the same species. They lie dead inside an imaginary receptacle, it may be their tomb. Next to them goes one picture where a lost or a damaged parcel is shown. It has been downloaded from the Internet. Each picture matches to a single drawing. It may represent the external look of the box where the birds are . In order to accomplish the project, a database with extinction venues, a chronological line and a pinpointed earth globe do guarantee us valuable scientific information.
· 111 Collage- drawings
Mixed media on paper. Different sizes.
· 111 Colour photographs, 10 x 15 cm. each.
