Title: A TREE IS DREAMING OF UIRAPURU (2007/08)

Sound installation in a tree, 12 cassette players, 12 endless tape cassettes, solar cells
by Tao G. Vrhovec Sambolec

THE LEGEND OF UIRAPURU:
Uirapuru is an extraordinary Amazonian bird, which sings only once a year, while building its nest, in order to attract a mate. Even then, only from five to ten minutes early in the morning. According to the legend, Uirapuru’s song is so beautiful that all other birds stop singing to listen to it. Both in legend and reality Uirapuru is a symbol of rarefied beauty and loneliness.

Biography: TAO G. VRHOVEC SAMBOLEC (1972) is an artist and musician based in Amsterdam and Ljubljana – Slovenia. His works encompass audiovisual and mixed media installations, interventions in public spaces and composed and improvised electro acoustic music.
