Synopsis
A wire was strung between the buildings forming the Istituto’s courtyard and a wooden bird was set on the wire. The equilibrum of the bird functions similar to a trapeze artist, by lowering the center of gravity (in the form of a tail) below the string. Like this it would pendle in the wind but never turn upside down.

Technical details
wire, wooden bird sculpture in three parts.
