the chinese nightingale

2006

Inspired by the tale „The Chinese Nightingale“of Hans Christian Andersen, Judith Fegerl developed an individual view on the topic of mechanical reproduction of a living organism.

The chant of the nightingale, famous for its beautiful and unique sound, is being mechanically reproduced. The power of reproduction and massproduction is indirect porportional to the intesity of the auratic experience of the natural phenomenon.
