Schwanengesang
(Le chant du cygne, Toronto)
an installation
by the Centre of Attention with works by Tai Shani and Andrea Winkler
The gallery space meets the chapel of rest in a work that offers the
audience an opportunity to rehearse one's own funeral: participants select
a song; they then lay on a plinth, performing death, while the song is
webstreamed. Formally, the work reverses the viewer/art-object dynamic,
while allowing a statement to be generated and examined by the audience
itself.
