Language of the Birds

Be the first to rate

Language of the Birds (2006–2008) by Brian Goggin with Dorka Keehn is a site-specific installation of illuminated books appearing to take flight above the plaza at Broadway, Grant, and Columbus. Suspended from steel cables, the translucent forms glow at night, while words embedded in the pavement below draw from local literary history in multiple languages. The solar-powered work links culture, language, and movement within the urban landscape.
