Spectacle for Birds – Waste, Territory and Nutrition
Hamm Kalle, Kamanger Dzamil
This artwork consists of a video and two displays of objects, one of which is located in gallery space and the other in a nature setting. The gallery display is of a fork with its prongs stuck into a baguette which was retrieved from a rubbish bin in a food store. Two small stuffed birds are fixed on top of the bread. The display in the nature setting is made up of the same basic elements but there are no stuffed birds; instead, the dry bread offers nourishment to the birds of the forest.

Kalle Hamm is a Helsinki-based artist, whose work examines cultural encounters and their impacts both in historical and contemporary context. Hamm graduated with a BA degree from Lahti Institute of Fine Arts in 1994 and with MA from the University of Art and Design Helsinki 2002. Since 2000 he has collaborated with the artist Dzamil Kamanger from Iranian Kurdistan. Dealing with the position of marginality in mainstream culture and the encounters of cultures in global networks, their works occupy an intermediate zone between art, design and handicraft, and are often sparked off everyday things.
