"The Time of the Deepest Night (When the Birds Don't Sing)" W/Elsa Salonen.


"This miniature forest includes a modified turntable, which sets the a pace for the slow rotation of the forest’s main tree, working as some kind of tree-dial. The title of the work, ‘The Time of the Deepest Night (When the Birds Don’t Sing)’, derives from the Gottlund’s chronology, an era before the clocks. The misty piano track, composed by Cavaliere, accompanies the slow hours’ gait in the forest. The tree piles up the woollen fruits of the wood in a constantly transforming sculpture. While the animals are asleep, time continues its slow course. At dawn, the remaining proof of this is collected on the branches. The unavoidable gait of time sets the pace to everything, its gentle proof of strenght being a testimonial to life." (Elsa Salonen)
