"Install this room in different places until a bird settles in it."
Yue Yuan

This room is a replica of Virginia Woolf’s writing lodge in the garden of Monk’s House, where she completed many of her major works. “Virginia Woolf placed birds and birdsong prominently in all of her novels and most of her shorter works, an obsession that went deeper than her fiction. In one of her final, unpublished essays, Anon, she theorizes that all lyrical poetry-and indeed literature itself-began with human interpretation of birdsong.”

The work aims to set up the conditions for a real encounter.
