In the shop window of the Gallery Frédéric Giroux in Paris. A video installation of Canary food, which was shown during a period of 2 weeks in the shop window of the gallery Frédéric Giroux in Paris. It is a video animation of a small bird, which jumps around on his swing. Apparently he is in the interior of a television set, which he can’t leave. Outside of the television set is a small heap of bird food. Within 2 weeks the bird loses more and more weight till he lies dead on the bottom of his multimedia cage. The dead bird is shown in this state for 3 days. The spectators are not able to touch the bird food or the bird and therefore become helpless witnesses of this tragic death.
