Invited through the European Parliament I spent ten days in Austria in the fall of 2003. Together with fifteen other artists (one from each EU-country), we stayed in an old mill on the border of Hungary to creatively express ourselves over the question "How far does Europe go?". On the court-yard of the Cselley Mühle, where we stayed for the duration of the omni-european multi-disciplinairy workshop, was a large oldfashioned pigeonry. It turned out, that every country has its own invective for these border-crossing-birds. I decided to ask each participant to mimic the pigeons of their own country for me. With the collected recordings I made the all-european pigeonsong. |
