Sena Başöz's immersive installation, Forough, fills the Peter Scott Gallery with birds, marking the launch of the annual theme of flight.
Forough is a flying archive, representing individual lives that have been restricted, left devoid of freedom or lost. The title of the work comes from the first name of Iranian poet Forough Farrokhzad and her famous line: 'Keep the flight in mind, the bird may die'.
The work is composed of hundreds of photographs of taxidermied birds from a 19th Century natural history collection based in Istanbul. Re-animated by an artificial wind, the images fill the space with sound reminiscent of bird’s wings and murmurations.
