Dawn Chorus at Picture This, 2007

Synopsis:

Dawn Chorus was the first exhibition in Picture This’ Atelier space in Bristol.

 

The five week exhibition comprised seven screens specially configured for the space, each inhabited by films of singers uncannily recreating birdsong in their ‘natural habitats'.

The exhibition came to Picture This after a show at BALTIC earlier in the same year. Dawn Chorus has since been shown in a variety of formats at exhibitions including Venice Biennale and Manifesta7.

Coates has long been exploring metamorphosis through voice and sound. He produces fascinating films in which the human voice mimics complex birdsong.
